Based in New York, US, and founded in 2022, Advocate offers a platform of services designed to provide access to disability benefits. In June 2023, Advocate raised USD 4 million in seed funding led by Lerer Hippeau Ventures, with participation from Khosla Ventures. As of June 2023, the company is led by its CEO, Emilie Poteat.

Advocate's product is a technology-enabled services platform that allows individuals to engage with federal agencies.
