founder intro: building blankpoll to rethink how we vote online

Hey everyone,

I’m Sergey, one of the co-founders behind blankpoll, a new kind of opinion platform.

Here is my Linkedin profile for anyone looking to network.

A bit of backstory:

blankpoll started with a simple frustration:

We have infinite content & hot takes online, but no structured way to actually know what people think - or to express it ourselves in a way that counts.

We saw it clearly during the last US presidential election. Platforms like x.com became algorithm-driven echo chambers; a few viral influencers shaped what millions saw and thought. Real consensus was hard to see. Opinions felt gamed, not gathered.

And it’s not just the US.

In Europe, there’s no independent, modern platform where Gen Z - or anyone - can weigh in at scale.

Surveys feel outdated. Polls feel buried. Meanwhile, 700M+ people carry the internet in their pockets.

So we built blankpoll.

A gamified opinion platform where anyone can vote on real issues, predict what’s next, and see how their views stack up - in real time. No comment wars. No influencers skewing the feed. Just raw sentiment, from the crowd.

We’ve launched our MVP, and now I’m here to learn.

If you're Gen Z - or just chronically online - how do you express your opinion today?

Would you use a platform like this? What features would you want to see?
