About Glenn Korban

Every year, local governments in the United States spend almost $2T to provide us with the services and facilities we need and want. Too often they’re forced to make decisions without good data, creating opportunities for costly mistakes and influence by special interests. Public meetings, social media, emails and phone calls are all critical channels of communication, but 70% of the time they create the wrong impression about what the broader community really wants. In order to make good data-driven decisions, local governments need representative, scientific community input. They need FlashVote.I love using technology to build things that are useful and can make the world a better place. I thrive on bringing together passionate, smart, driven individuals and helping them bond into a team that’s aligned with common mission to make big things happen.
