Pitch for Rudder – Social Polling

Company / App Name: Rudder – Social Polling

Twitter – @rudder_app

What does it do?

A free iPhone that enables users to receive quick feedback on upcoming decisions. Users create polls to send to friends for immediate feedback. It’s Survey Monkey, but geared towards being social and fun.

Why do we need it?

Everybody needs advice from their closest friends and family on life-changing decisions, but it’s hard to harness that trusted wisdom for everyday choices like what to wear, where to meet for drinks, etc.

Who is it for?

Right now, the majority of our users are 18-22, but it’s built for everyone. Some use cases include: 1) a boy who got advice on which flowers to buy for Valentine’s Day 2) soon-to-be parents who got advice on baby names.

What makes it stand out from the crowd?

Send polls to specific contacts for trusted feedback.
Users can see who voted for what and interact with that group.

What’s next?

We’d like to open up the app and create a follow model so users can view more content. We’ve seen that people love voting, so we’d like to put more polls in front of them. We’d still have the option to send polls to specific contacts.
