Yes. Culper is positioned as an NGP VAN alternative for local and down-ballot candidates who cannot justify enterprise pricing. It covers the same core needs — voter targeting, outreach, volunteer coordination, block walking — and adds features VAN sells separately, like an integrated mobile app for volunteers and embeddable donation widgets.

Culper offers three tiers for the 2026 cycle. Challenger is for first-time candidates running a single race; Campaign is for serious local races with a dedicated team and includes the LLM voter query and donation widgets; Committee is for multi-candidate committees, county parties, slates, and PACs running multiple campaigns from one workspace. Final pricing is set after a short onboarding interview so it can match the scope and budget of the race.

No. Culper supports two onboarding paths: candidates in covered geographies can use Culper-provided voter data, and candidates anywhere in the country can upload their own licensed voter file (from L2, i360, Aristotle, the state Secretary of State, or an NGP VAN export). The product is fully functional in both paths — outreach, volunteer coordination, block walking, and the natural-language query layer all run against the candidate's own data.

Culper lets a candidate type a question in plain English — for example, 'registered Republicans over 55 in precinct 42 who voted in the last three primaries' — and returns a saved voter list. The LLM emits a constrained JSON query DSL, never raw SQL, which is validated server-side and compiled to parameterized queries that run against a campaign-scoped read-only Postgres role. The candidate does not need an analyst on staff to do segmentation work.

Culper ships a React Native mobile app for volunteers (iOS and Android). Walkers receive assignments, navigate stops on a map, log visit outcomes with GPS verification, and capture survey responses at the door. Every response flows back into the voter database as a campaign-scoped annotation, so the next round of texts and mail is precisely targeted.

Yes. Culper guides every candidate through The Campaign Registry's A2P 10DLC political-campaign brand registration as part of onboarding. Every outbound SMS requires documented prior express written consent under TCPA. Every STOP is honored instantly and propagates to a global, campaign-agnostic suppression list that no individual campaign can override.

Every campaign is a separate workspace with its own voter silo. Per-campaign data isolation is enforced at the database layer via PostgreSQL row-level security, not at the application layer. A volunteer who works on two campaigns has two separate memberships in two separate workspaces and cannot see voter data across them.

Culper supports individual candidate campaigns, PACs, county and state political parties, and coalitions or slates running multiple candidates on a shared platform. Onboarding is geography-agnostic — a candidate in any U.S. state can sign up today, regardless of whether Culper has licensed voter data for their district yet.

Culper is named after the Culper Ring — the intelligence network George Washington ran during the American Revolution. The product positions itself as intelligence infrastructure for down-ballot races: the same kind of data and operational advantage that federal campaigns spend six figures to assemble, packaged for the local candidates that big vendors don't serve.
