Raise Presence LLC was founded by Ed Forman to put AI presence monitoring in the hands of progressive campaigns and advocacy organizations.
The company's premise is straightforward: AI platforms have become a primary information layer in American politics, and progressives are not yet treating them as such — while MAGA and policies that favor the wealthy over most Americans continue to benefit from an information environment that goes largely uncontested at the AI layer.
Raise Presence built Kyanos to change that. The goal is concrete results in 2026 and a stronger position for progressive candidates and causes in 2028 and beyond. The company is structured to sustain the work, not to generate returns.
AI presence — what AI platforms say about a candidate, an organization, or a cause when voters go looking — is now a variable in every race. Kyanos measures it, tracks it over time, and helps campaigns build the information records that shape it.
