Web Summit Vancouver kicks off this weekend and Middle Ground will be there.

A year ago Middle Ground showed up as an Alpha Startup. We had an idea, conviction, and a lot of slides. This year Middle Ground is back as a Beta Startup. Same conviction, but now with a shipped product and real users on the platform.

Why

Stakeholder engagement is one of those categories the internet skipped. Cities, agencies, and infrastructure teams still run public consultation on PDFs, spreadsheets, and inboxes that age faster than the projects they're documenting. Decisions worth billions sit on paper trails worth nothing.

That's the gap Middle Ground is closing. Real product, real users, real consultations running through it.

Schedule

Here's where you can find me during the week. Tap a card for the why.

Find Me

If you're working on stakeholder engagement, infrastructure, natural resources, or public sector consultation, or if you just want to talk about what AI is actually unlocking in industries that have been overlooked, find me. Always up for a coffee or a chat between sessions.

Let's go.
