Our Thesis



We de-risk the work of cross-partisan policymaking and collaboration for our nation’s leaders — enabling them to reduce polarization, get things done, and tackle the critical issues of our time.

Despite the forces of polarization, the American people want our nation’s leaders to work together and solve problems. Members of Congress want to do the same, but they often lack the infrastructure to collaborate and take action across the aisle.

Established in 2023, American Policy Ventures Action ("American Policy Ventures", or "APV") aims to be that infrastructure. We bring together Members of Congress, senior congressional staff, policy experts, philanthropists, and other leaders to pave the pathway for pragmatic, cross-partisan governing and legislating — with the goal of enabling our leaders to get things done, together.

Select Projects

Empowering Bipartisan Leaders

Supporting the work of bipartisan lawmakers tackling critical problems.

We work together with lawmakers in Congress on both sides of the aisle to generate and unlock greater capacity for cross-partisan legislating and governance — through relationship-building, intel-sharing, policy research, constituent education, coalition-building and more.

The Techno Industrial Playbook

An initiative to support policymakers with actionable ideas to strengthen American competitiveness.
Spearheaded by the Foundation for American Innovation, the Institute for Progress, and American Compass, this project provides actionable bipartisan policy ideas for the 119th Congress and the new Administration — focused on advancing America's position in frontier tech, industrial policy, and national security.

Care Lab

Bringing together Senate Chiefs of Staff across party lines.
American Policy Ventures has partnered with Care Lab to support the bringing together of Senate Chiefs of Staff from both parties — to build lasting relationships and shared understanding that can improve the functioning of Congress.

Georgetown Battleground Civility Poll

Exploring the causes of division in America and strategies to bridge the divide.

American Policy Ventures is sponsoring the Battleground Civility Poll at Georgetown University’s McCourt School. The Poll is a collaboration between Republican pollster Ed Goeas of the Tarrance Group, and Democratic pollster Celinda Lake of Lake Research Partners. It dives deep into the driving causes of polarization, opportunities for productive collaboration, and insights on what the American people want to see from their elected leaders. Two national surveys have already been published, with the next survey on the way later this year. To see the full data from the first two surveys, click below.
