Election Runner - https://electionrunner.com https://electionrunner.com
The idea came to me after my wife (a High School teacher) told me about how her students complained that the school's election software (Voting4Schools) was hard to use. After doing more research I found that every single competitor in this space sucked (ElectionBuddy, VoteNet), so I decided to build Election Runner. It started as a fun side project, but has taken off A LOT faster than I anticipated. Next step is to hire someone to handle sales to K12 Schools and Universities, but I'm not sure how to start that process.

- theseanstewart 11y agoVery cool! I had no clue. I had been wanting to launch a SaaS company for the last few years and realized that it's easier to get people (school administrators) to spend other people's money (district, university, tax payers, etc), than to spend their own money.
