Intro to FirePoll: vLog

I recently spent some time with Will Allred, CEO and Founder of Firepoll.  He also helped me with this video profile of his business.

From the Firepoll web site: "Firepoll helps our clients know now. We offer a web-based research tool that gives marketers and researchers access to immediate consumer response and precise demographic targeting."

Firepoll uses a proprietary instant messenger technology to reach thousands of respondents virtually instantly.  When a client needs feedback from high school and college age people, they go to Firepoll to get the answer. 

Like Clint Carlos (Garage Mahal) and Ryan Money (HireVue), Will is part of Junto Partners, an organization founded by Greg Warnock.  Juno Partners provides modest amounts of start-up capital to help young entrepreneurs launch a first business, surrounded by experienced mentors.

In the spirit of full disclosure, I should note that I am a Junto mentor.

By way of reminder, I am eager to post a video clip of businesses and entrepreneurs as a means of helping entrepreneurial companies to increase their market exposure.  I won't promise always to be nice or even to post every clip I get, but I'd sure like to post more.  (For an example, please see my post on HireVue.)  You should also remember, that while I am an investment banker, this blog is intended for educational purposes and should never be treated as investment advice, an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to purchase any security.
