Founded in 2008, and the originators of the now ubiquitous Feedback Tab, what makes us special is how much we care about the end-user interface. We know that communication starts with users, not with surveys or flying banners.
We’ve had a little help along the way in the form of $3MM in capital raised from Baseline Ventures (our lead), WTI, Betaworks, Founders Fund, TAG, Tekton Ventures and an assortment of amazing angels.

Helpdesk Launched May 2011
Easy to use & (self-service) setup - Customers can get setup in hours, not days or weeks.
Designed for simplicity but has the backend to handle complicated routing and queuing.
Inspector - Answer messages quicker and more carefully by having the complete social context of who you’re talking to.
Game mechanics - Our leaderboard drives friendly competition amongst customer teams to respond quickly and comprehensively
Ticket system emails look like normal emails. End-users never know they’re being tracked. There's no ticket # or 'reply above this line', People bristle at the notion of being “in a system” - they want human connection.

Feedback forums are the unique UserVoice way of helping customers get and respond to inbound customer feedback at scale.
Feedback is a natural, and highly successful, way to engage large numbers of otherwise passive users who wouldn’t contact companies for support.
Feedback Launched April 2008
Scalability - Get feedback from thousands or millions with the same level of effort.
Frictionless feedback - 80+% of those who give feedback will provide an email address and subscribe to updates. This works wonders for pre-sales engagement.
Response rates double that of newsletters. Permission based marketing at its best. Users are opting into updates on other user generated content.

Customer retention is the new acquisitionIt’s getting more expensive to acquire customers as marketing channels become saturated. Subscription businesses live and die by retention. The best way to retain customers is through great service but more importantly by building the product they want.
Social media is the catalyst of, but not the medium of, the futureTwitter is the small claims court of bad support. It’s forcing companies to re-examine the cost of providing poor service through the traditional channels that users prefer.
Excellent customer service, like performance, is a killer feature.Support is increasingly not just a cost center to be shunted offshore. It's part of your product and your sales process.

We now have the technology and enough incentives to provide old fashioned service at web scale.

The customer portal is dead. Be where your users are... and it isn’t Facebook: it’s inside your app. Make getting support or giving feedback a great in-app experience.

Drive meaningful, win-win engagement (with analytics).That which is actionable to the company and important to users. Move beyond the shallow pond of “likes” and “follows”. No flying banner 10 minute surveys either.We can do better than social media vanity metrics.
