Feel Train


Feel Train is a technology collaborative co-founded by Courtney Stanton and Darius Kazemi and based in Portland, Oregon.

Structure

Feel Train is a worker-owned cooperative. Stanton and Kazemi are its first two worker-owners, and the organization is chartered to allow a maximum of eight employees, each with equal salary, equal share in the company and equal firing power over others, including the founders.

Projects

Feel Train projects have included the Stay Woke Bot, a Twitter bot developed in collaboration with activists DeRay Mckesson and Samuel Sinyangwe, and Shortcut, an app developed with radio program This American Life to facilitate sharing audio clips across social media, similar to the way gifs allow video clips to be shared. Feel Train is also developing a Twitter bot based on the Obama Social Media Archive called Relive 44, which beginning in May 2017 will repost, eight years later, every tweet from President Barack Obama
