Opinionaided is a mobile question-and-answer app led by co-founder and CEO Dan Kurani that enables users to ask questions and receive dozens of responses within minutes. The company’s iOS app (version 3.1) offers an enhanced UI, comprehensive bios, online image search, improved content targeting, and the ability to send questions via SMS, Twitter and Facebook. Opinionaided plans to use the new funding to grow its service and extend it to other platforms such as Android. The company is New York based and has previously raised $1.0M in March 2011 and $275K in November 2010. The app’s features emphasize broad distribution of questions, peer responses, and tools to elevate the user experience. No operating metrics (revenue/users) are reported in the article. Opinionaided is a free iOS mobile Q&A service that allows users to input a question, select a category, and have other users answer and comment. The app calculates the percentage of users who responded positively or negatively and displays all comments for follow-up. Since a private beta launch last June, the service has collected about 40 million responses to roughly 500,000 questions. The company has raised $1 million in the latest financing, bringing total funding to $1.2 million. Opinionaided plans to use the new funding to expand the service beyond the iOS platform. The startup faces competition from Mahalo and ChaCha.
