Intrepida Strategy's Services
Intrepida is Latin for bold deeds or courageous woman. Led by an intrepid founder, we work tirelessly to achieve our objectives in policy, advocacy, electoral campaigns and impact investment no matter how tough the assignment and audacious the goal.
Political and Organizational Advocacy
Through founding nonprofit organizations and integrating into larger advocacy efforts, we successfully passed policies at the state level to define harassment in the workplace and increased funding for sexual assault nurse examiners, and killed discriminatory policies that target the LGBTQIA+ community among others. We have worked to instate and enforce paid sick leave at the local level, to decriminalize homelessness, and to add an equity overlay to our city's land development code. Our policy work has spanned from Texas to New York to California, where our deep political relationships and strong coalitions make wins possible.
International and Domestic Policy
We have crafted, lobbied for and passed legislation at the local, state, national and international levels via organizational advocacy, electoral campaigns and public offices. We have written the policy platforms for local, congressional and presidential candidates, contributed to the drafting of municipal ordinances and state bills, and advised on county policies. Policy work has ranged from international development and humanitarian response to the promotion of body autonomy through intersex protections and the reduction of sexual assault and human trafficking.
Electoral Campaigns
We served on a policy advisory committee for the Hillary for America campaign focused on Development Effectiveness and Innovation which then led to larger roles in campaign staffing. We have served as the Campaign Manager for who would have been the first openly trans elected official in the state of Texas, and as Political Director for a US Congressional Candidate. Our specialty is in the realm of messaging, political strategy and relationship management. We are also seasoned in public speaking, and have served as surrogates to deliver speeches in front of crowds of various sizes—representing the campaign in a responsible and memorable manner.
Impact Investment
We built a wide and varied network of impact investors through leading the national expansion of an Austin-based family office in 2019 and have leveraged those skills and relationships in subsequent investment management roles since. At Opportunity Hub, we secured corporate partnerships to funnel 1000 Black and Browns students into careers in the Fourth Industrial Revolution and helped broker the public-private partnerships needed to establish Austin's Equity District—a collaborative framework to institutionalize racial equity in Austin’s tech, start-up & innovation ecosystem. At the Pride Fund, we raise and deploy capital to power LGBTQIA+ founders in environments hostile to their rights.
