Recidiviz
Our mission is to accelerate progress toward a smaller, fairer, safer criminal justice system—and to do so at-scale. Recidiviz is a tech startup through and through: we take the speed and problem solving of the tech world and apply it to big public policy challenges where there is huge opportunity for impact. Using modern data infrastructure andthoughtful product design, we’ve been able to safely and permanently reduce incarceration and improve outcomes. We work side-by-side with justice-impacted communities, ecosystem partners, and leaders of the criminal justice system to build a better path forward. In addition to the revenue we earn from states, some of the most respected philanthropists and foundations—including Arnold Ventures, the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative, and the Mozilla Foundation—support our work.
