VoteIt is a New Orleans-based startup that builds realtime voting tools described as a “realtime consensus generator” to help groups make decisions. The product is in private beta and aims to provide a cross-platform, device-agnostic interface that supports debate, presentation of evidence, inline organization of comments, and a proposed reward and transparency system. VoteIt is iterating based on user feedback and plans to launch in early 2012. Use cases called out include physician consults and healthcare-provider collaboration, governance for nonprofits and community groups, and business decision-making workflows. Financially, the company announced an $800,000 seed raise from a group of local angel investors and is leveraging Louisiana tax-credit programs for early-stage businesses and investors. CEO Taylor Beery positions the product as addressing the scalability limits of traditional online group-decision tools like checkboxes, snapshot polling, email, and comment threads.
