Meet Engage60: Where Civic News Meets Your Voice
Nov 4, 2026
Nashville, Tennessee Nov 3, 2026 (Issuewire.com) - On a day when Americans across the country exercise one of their most fundamental civic rights, Engage60 today announced the beta launch of its mobile application, introducing a new approach to civic news that combines short-form video, original-source journalism, and interactive civic participation in one mobile-first experience.
For Engage60, launching on Election Day carries special significance. It represents the spirit behind the company's mission: helping people stay informed, understand the issues shaping their communities, and recognize that their voices matter. The company sees this moment as a fitting beginning for a platform built around strengthening civic awareness and participation--not just on Election Day, but every day.
At a time when people are consuming more content but often have fewer meaningful opportunities to engage with the issues behind it, Engage60 is built around a simple idea: news should do more than inform people. It should give them a way to make their voices heard.
The platform brings civic news into a vertically scrolling video experience designed to make following important stories more accessible, immediate, and interactive. Users can choose between two distinct feeds: For You, which delivers a personalized civic news experience based on their interests and engagement, and Open, which allows them to explore a broader range of civic news and perspectives beyond their personalized recommendations.
Users can swipe right to Agree or left to Disagree, turning their reactions into part of the experience.
Engage60 also puts transparency and action at the center of its design. A dedicated Source button connects users to the original publisher and underlying reporting.
The Action button takes engagement a step further by helping users contact their elected officials about the issues they care about. Users can access a pre-written email tailored to the news story, review the message, personalize it with their own thoughts, and send it to their elected representatives. This gives people a practical way to move beyond reading or reacting to the news and make their voices heard directly.
The company's commitment to originally sourced video and original journalism is central to its vision: bringing authentic footage and credible reporting closer to the stories themselves, while helping users connect more directly with the events shaping their communities and the world.
Building the Future of Civic News
Engage60's ambition extends beyond creating another news application. The company is building toward a scalable civic news platform that connects journalism, audience sentiment, and meaningful participation.
By bringing personalized discovery, broader news exploration, short-form video, transparent sourcing, and interactive engagement together, Engage60 aims to create a new way for people to experience civic news--and a stronger connection between the public and the issues that affect their lives.
Investor Opportunity: $3 Million Pre-Seed Round
Engage60 is currently raising a $3 million Pre-Seed round to accelerate product development, expand its original journalism and video capabilities, and scale audience growth.
The company welcomes conversations with angel investors, venture capital firms, and strategic partners interested in the future of civic news, digital media, and audience engagement.
