CrowdHall provides a web platform for hosting moderated town halls and Q&A sessions that lets hosts curate and prioritize incoming questions and reply via text, photos, or video. The product aims to avoid the typical "top-voted" distortion of open forums by enabling organizers to highlight themes or the most relevant queries. Sessions currently run on CrowdHall pages with plans to allow branded pages and embed functionality for third-party sites, and the company has discussed private chats for internal use. CrowdHall is in beta and plans a freemium model to unlock higher-end features in the future. The platform has been used by USAID, Senators Boozeman and Brown, economist Jeffrey Sachs, and organizations including LivingSocial, Teach for America, United Way and Columbia University. The startup has raised $700,000 from a group of investors to support its development.
