Government relations & venture leadership
AaronHarstine.
At the intersection of
policy, enterprise & possibility.
I build businesses and lead the policy strategies that advance them.
01 Perspective
The person behind the workA builder’s instinct.
A strategist’s perspective.
My work connects business building, federal policy judgment and hands-on product leadership.
I co-founded ServLine, a water-loss protection business acquired by HomeServe for $24.1 million. I then led HomeServe’s federal government relations, advancing water infrastructure priorities and bringing business concerns into the policy conversation.
Today, I’m bringing that experience to POLIS—an AI platform in development for legislative operations and government relations.
