We solved the impossible tradeoff: how to get depth, scale, and engagement together. Now organizations can hear from 100 people in a single session, and make sense of what they said together.
Doug Griffen pioneered electronic brainstorming in 1991, facilitating 5,000+ sessions for Fortune 500 companies and government agencies over the next 30 years. The approach worked, but it had a ceiling. Around 20–30 participants, the technology and the facilitation broke down.
"I knew the methodology worked. I'd seen it transform how organizations made decisions for three decades. But I also knew we were leaving insights on the table. What if you could hear from 100 people? 500?"
In 2021, Doug partnered with his son Sam, a software engineer specializing in real-time collaborative systems, to rebuild the platform from scratch. Live infrastructure that could carry 1,000+ concurrent participants without losing the moderation quality that made the methodology work in the first place.
That's what Converge is: a methodology that's been refined for thirty years, encoded into infrastructure that didn't exist when Doug started.
