Thanks for your feedback.
A lot of startups in that space seem to rely on building a large community of engaged voters, and then they'll figure out where to extract money, social media style. The problem as you point out is building that community in the first place, bacause we'd need a pivotal change in our politicla system for that to happen. Interested voters? There's not a single country in the world where a big chunk of the lectorate dedicate a significant amount of time to figure out how to vote. Money certainly can't be extracted for voters, I don't imagine people paying in one way or another to get tod who to vote for.
Why didn't you follow the money more directly and create a product aimed at politicians or PACs? Couldn't the intelligence you built be used by campaigns?
Were VCs curious about how you would eventually make money out of this?
