3. Brief History of LDV
• 2008 — Launched in 2008 with 10 volunteers and $5000. First 500,000
visitors within six months
• 2012 — 129 million people voted in the 2012 election. 2 million visited
LDV first. That’s 1.6% of all voters. We also registered 105,000 voters
on $5000. Ask me how. It’s a good story.
• 2014 —election, we partnered with Google. When someone asked
Google how to vote, Google trusted us to provide the answer. Our
answers were viewed over 30 million times. Our partnership with
Google is just getting started.
• We’ve had 4.2 million unique visitors through our site and another 30
million through Google.
• Now we’re looking to scale.
