I.

A warming planet, democracy under siege, disregard for human rights, poverty, misinformation, war, pandemics. And that's just the beginning.

If there's ever a time to pull out all the stops, it's now.

We have the talent, the energy, and the ambition.  What we don't have are easy ways to team up and deploy our individual superpowers where they matter most.

II.

Protagonist is a league of professionals from across disciplines, organizations, sectors, and borders, teaming up to launch unconventional special projects—in climate, democracy, health, civil society, and more. To do the work that markets and governments can't or won't.

Protagonist makes it easy for you to contribute, even when your time is scarce. All the friction is handled—the coordination, the vetting, the infrastructure—so every minute of your time is focused on working with others to get sh** done.

We have work to do.

Our vision: to build the social and technological infrastructure for collective action at a scale commensurate with our challenges—unlocking the creativity and moral ambition of millions to unf**k the future as much as we can.

To learn more, drop us a line.

…

Individually we are one drop. Together we are an ocean.
