ARLINGTON, Va, November 06, 2020 – Lightning Partners, a growth technology investment bank, served as the exclusive financial advisor to GovPredict, a high growth, venture-backed technology company that provides legislative, regulatory and issue monitoring, and intelligence, in its acquisition by Phone2Action, the leading digital advocacy and civic engagement platform.

​

This transaction places the combined company at the forefront of the fast-paced and rapidly growing market for civic and government affairs software. With this acquisition, Phone2Action, the world’s leading provider of grassroots advocacy software, will now become a category-defining solution where public affairs and government relations professionals can collaborate on projects, gain insight into key bills and policies, galvanize people to act and influence public policy.
