GetThru

GetThru, formerly Relay, is an American company that provides a peer-to-peer political text messaging platform.

Daniel Souweine is a cofounder and CEO.[1] He was the National Texting Program director for Bernie Sanders's 2016 campaign and has a B.A. in political science from Brown University.

Other political P2P texting platforms include Hustle on the Democratic side and RumbleUp and Opn Sesame on the Republican side.[2][3]

History

Relay

Relay was created by 2016 Sanders campaign alumni and has been used by left-leaning campaigns and organizations such as ACLU and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.[1][2][3]

GetThru

In April 2019, Relay was renamed to GetThru to avoid confusion with Relay Networks, a used telecom hardware seller in Minnesota.[4]

Last year, a company named Relay Networks, which provides customer service software for large businesses, contacted us after someone interested in Relay texting reached out to them by mistake. Relay Networks expressed concern that our use of the name Relay would create confusion in the marketplace, reducing the value of their brand. We made extensive efforts to negotiate with Relay Networks, but they were firm in their position, and we ultimately decided that discretion was the better part of valor.
