Kendall Tucker. Kendall Tucker who?

Kendall Tucker, the founder of Knoq, a community outreach technology company. Knoq, which was launched in 2018 and has its headquarters in Boston, Mass uses representatives of the neighborhood to reach their own neighbors. The Knoqers, as they are called, canvas their own neighborhoods forming relationships and discussing products that can make homeowner’s lives easier, from scheduling a MassSave Evaluation to teaching people about home security systems.

Knoq, trains and recruits people on canvasing and door-to-door sales before sending them out into their own neighborhoods. The focus being on their own neighborhoods, because Knoq wants to reemphasize and encourage people to connect with their neighbors, as was commonplace in the past century. Google Fiber, NRG, Fluent Home Security, and Inspire Energy all use the services Knoq provides.

Prior to founding Knoq, Kendall Tucker worked in the political realm, managing a State Senate race, and working for political campaigns. After she graduated, Tucker worked at a management consulting company where she gained important skills in analyzing data. She then founded the company, Polis Politics, where she was CEO for three years. Polis was also a Massachusetts start-up, founded in 2015, it is also a door-to-door outreach platform. This company sells data to political campaigns in order to help them canvas for voters much easier. The data from Polis creates profiles for citizens regarding their political history. After it launched over 150 organizations used Polis.

Tucker has valuable skills is community outreach (a very important aspect of her companies), data analysis, and research. She was a finalist for the Entrepreneur of the Year in New England, as well as being featured in CNBC’s Upstart 100: World’s Most Promising.

I have learned from Kendall Tucker that sometimes you know you want to achieve something, but in order to do that you need to gain skills and take sometime before you start your dream. This was from her job at the consulting company where she learned data analysis in order to create Polis with the best system to benefit political campaigns.
