🚀 Road to 1,000,000 Votap users — Day 24 | Current: 185

This idea lived in our heads for years before it became Votap.

Back in 2017, right after Donald Trump’s unexpected election win, my co-founder Zahoor Ali was trading stocks full-time. His days were spent analyzing companies, leadership decisions, market reactions — and especially sentiment.

At some point, a parallel became impossible to ignore:
→ Governments behave a lot like companies
→ Presidents and prime ministers act like CEOs
→ And the public? We’re the shareholders

In financial markets, sentiment is brutally honest and visible in real-time. Prices move instantly. Everyone can see how confidence rises or collapses.

In politics?
We get delayed approval ratings. Small samples. Outdated polls.
By the time you see them, the moment has already passed.

That gap sparked a question we couldn’t shake:

What if public opinion on leaders could be measured live, 24/7?

We assumed something like this had to exist.
It didn’t.

So at some point, it stopped being a thought experiment — and became something we had to build.

That’s how Votap Ltd. was born.

More tomorrow.
