			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Max Yoder is exactly the kind of founder SproutBox is looking for.  He&#8217;s straightforward, smart, humble, opinionated and driven. His  startup, <a href="http://quipol.com/">Quipol</a>, is only a few weeks old, was built on a shoestring  budget and is already making waves across the world.</p>
<p>Quipol is quite simple. It&#8217;s an embeddable polling application. How it  impacts user behavior is what is fascinating. Much like Twitter and  FormSpring, its constraints and simplicity make it greater than the  sum of its parts.</p>
<p>Quipols are incredibly easy to build and share,  allowing creators to engage their users while simultaneously unlocking  the opinions and perspectives of their audience.  A Quipol helps focus  and direct the conversation around content, minimizing the typical  internet comments free-for-all. By leveraging networks like Facebook  and Twitter, Quipol makes polls social, driving users back to the  original embed source. This combination of higher engagement, enhanced data collection, and increased traffic is a game  changer for anyone with an audience.</p>
<p>The easiest way to describe a Quipol is to embed one:</p>
<p align="center"> <iframe style="overflow: hidden;" src="http://quipol.com/6ENdzI0m" width="400" height="600" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" id="qpl_6ENdzI0m" align="middle">Quipol</iframe><script src="http://quipol.com/javascripts/embed_quipol.js?qpl_6ENdzI0m"></script> </p>
<p>Through perseverance (as in continually offering to do others&#8217; laundry), Max has surrounded himself with  an all-star team of Indiana advisors, including top minds from  <a href="http://www.kaplusa.com/">KA+A</a>, <a href="www.sproutbox.com">SproutBox</a> and Gravity Labs. He created personalized videos to  send early adopters in the press. Each month, he dedicates  61% of his income from his day job to his startup. He is a <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8rwsuXHA7RA">crazy one</a>.</p>
<p>We&#8217;re proud to have Max and Quipol as a part of the SproutBox family.</p>
<p>To find out more about Quipol check out some of the recent press coverage on  <a href="http://thenextweb.com/apps/2011/11/23/quipol-wants-to-shake-up-online-polling-and-commenting/">The Next Web</a> and <a href="http://www.nbcchicago.com/blogs/inc-well/Quipols-Max-Yoder-on-Bootstrappings-Stomach-Churning-Reality-134589458.html">NBC Chicago</a>.</p>
