Wedgies builds polling tools designed to run natively on social networks and be embedded on websites and blogs, aiming to “legitimize web voting.” The platform supports Facebook, Twitter and Tumblr and has been used by media outlets such as The Wall Street Journal and Engadget, as well as e-commerce customers. CEO and co-founder Porter Haney says the product emphasizes quick, shareable polls that drive conversation and enable real-time audience feedback. The company plans 2015 integrations with additional platforms including Reddit, Medium and MailChimp. Wedgies positions its approach as enabling large-scale response collection that can be narrowed to specific groups to approximate scientific results. Financially, the company has raised $700K in the current seed round and its total funding stands at $1.2 million. Wedgies is a Las Vegas-based social polling service that enables users to create simple surveys and share them with friends. The service is led by Jimmy Jacobson and Porter Haney.
