Michael Huttner

Huttner is a partner with Culture of Giving Back to advise donors on progressive causes and Chief Executive Officer of Next Titan Capital, an investment bank focused on cannabis and psychedelics.

[1] In January 2020, Huttner convened the first meeting to legalize psychedelics statewide in Colorado which culminated with the passage of the Natural Medicine Health Act in November, 2022.

Huttner and Bobby Clark, a former staffer to the Howard Dean presidential campaign, worked together in 2005 with the technology provider Blue State Digital to develop the website that launched as ProgressNow.

[9] In 2010, the book "The Blueprint: How Democrats Won Colorado, and Why Republicans Everywhere Should Care" described ProgressNow as the "crown jewel" of the progressive investors' effort to flip the state.

[19] In early 2022, Huttner initiated the team and strategy for Adam Frisch in his campaign to replace Lauren Boebert and is considered by many to be the biggest upset in the 2022 election cycle.

[20] Prior to his private practice, Huttner worked as Policy Advisor to Governor Roy Romer and before returning to Colorado, his home, he clerked at the White House for the Office of the Counsel to the President.
