Partnership fuels next phase of growth as Quorum scales agentic AI capabilities for the government affairs market

WASHINGTON: Enlightenment Capital, an Aerospace, Defense, Government & Technology (ADG&T) investment firm based in the Washington, DC area, announced it has made a strategic investment in Quorum, the leading AI-powered government affairs platform used by more than 2,000 organizations, including over half of the Fortune 100 companies. The investment will accelerate Quorum’s product roadmap, expand its agentic AI capabilities, and strengthen its position as the platform of choice for government affairs teams – from large corporations and small and midsized businesses to trade associations, nonprofits, and government agencies.

Quorum’s platform brings together legislative tracking, stakeholder engagement, grassroots advocacy, PAC management, and AI-powered intelligence into a single system of record, enabling government affairs teams to move from fragmented research and monitoring to coordinated, action-oriented advocacy. With Enlightenment Capital’s investment, Quorum will continue to expand its AI capabilities that help public affairs teams identify policy risks, synthesize complex information, prioritize action, and execute advocacy strategies at scale.
