PollEverywhere Async: Collect team feedback on recorded video presentations

Async standups have replaced synchronous meetings for many distributed product teams, but the tooling gap is real: presenters record a walkthrough in Loom, drop it in Slack, and then chase people for comments. Feedback arrives as scattered thread replies with no structure, no way to know who watched, and no quantified sentiment on specific decisions. PollEverywhere Async closes that loop. It lets a presenter embed interactive polls and open questions directly inside a recorded video walkthrough, pinned to the exact moment in the timeline where a decision needs input. When a teammate watches on their own schedule, the poll surfaces in-frame, they respond, and the presenter gets aggregated, timestamped answers instead of a messy comment thread. The product: PollEverywhere Async. The core solution is turning passive video into a structured decision-collection surface. An MVP is narrow and buildable: a Chrome-based or web recorder (or an importer for existing Loom and screen recordings), a timeline editor to drop multiple-choice, rating, or free-text prompts at specific timestamps, a viewer that pauses and captures responses, and a results dashboard showing per-question breakdowns and watch-through data. Revenue is seat-based SaaS: a free tier for individuals with limited videos, a team tier per creator seat that unlocks unlimited embedded polls and the analytics dashboard, and a business tier adding SSO, retention controls, and workspace admin. Go to market starts where the pain concentrates: product managers and team leads running async standups, reached through PM communities, remote-work newsletters, and content on running better async rituals. Growth loops come from the viewer side: every teammate invited to answer a poll experiences the product without paying, and workspaces that adopt it for standups naturally extend it to design reviews, sprint demos, and onboarding, pulling in adjacent teams.
