We just opened our pre-seed round.

Road to 1,000,000 Votap users Day 42 | Current: 1116

We just opened our pre-seed round.
After going through the Grishin Robotics accelerator and refining our pitch, we ve officially launched our raise (closing end of March).
For those new here:
Votap is a real-time public sentiment platform for politics. We re building a space where public opinion is visible 24/7, not just during elections.
I ll be sharing a link with our deck, more details, metrics and vision for anyone interested:

If you ve been following this journey and believe in what we re building or know investors who might resonate with this I d genuinely appreciate an intro or sharing this post. Thank you!
More tomorrow.

Votap just crossed 300+ comments
With the recent spike in users, something really cool started happening inside our app.
People aren t just voting.
They re also explaining their reasons.
In just a short time, we ve crossed 321 total comments across politicians.

Different views. Different countries. Real opinions.
And this is exactly what we hoped for.
Next step?
We re adding replies.
So instead of top-level comments, you ll be able to respond to each other and build proper discussion threads. Votap is meant to be a platform shaped by opinions, not just charts.
If you want to be part of it, download Votap from the App Store.
More tomorrow.

🚀 Road to 1,000,000 Votap users — Day 37 | Current: 1058

We re letting users take over Votap
One thing that s been really cool lately? The emails.
People telling us what they like.
What they d change.
Which politicians we should add next.
I answer as many as I can, but it made me realize something:
If Votap is about public opinion
then the app itself should be shaped by public opinion too.
So in the next update (coming very soon), we re adding a proper feedback space directly inside the app.
You ll be able to:
Suggest features
Request politicians
Comment on ideas
Upvote what you want to see next
Other users can vote on suggestions too so we build what people actually care about.
Votap is a people platform first.
So the product should evolve with the people using it.
We want this live before our next bigger user acquisition push (aiming much higher next time ).
If you want to help shape it, download Votap from the App Store.
More tomorrow.

We just crossed 1,000 users?!
The growth lately has been crazy. A bit overwhelming in the best way.
I remember going to concerts in my hometown with about 1,000 people in the crowd. A full room. Loud. Packed.
Now imagine that same room but every single person downloaded your app, registered, and voted. Over 1,000 real humans who cared enough to try Votap.
That blows my mind a little.
Only 1,000x more to hit 1 million. Easy, right?
Seriously though thank you.

If you haven t joined yet: Get Votap
More tomorrow.

What happened today shocked me
We added a new politician to Votap Zack Polanski based on user suggestions.
In the first minute:
22 votes
4 comments
and the chart started moving
Watching the feedback live within seconds that was one of those okay, this can be big moments.
We re at 689 users now.
Imagine this when it s 10,000. 100,000. 1 million.
That spike of activity was proof that people care and they re ready to express it.
If you want to be part of it, download Votap.
