About

So who are we?

We're a group of tech savvy individuals who want to connect entrepreneurs, as well as political and non-profit organizations to the tech community. Sometimes, to illustrate a point, we'll need to throw a proof-of-concept together quickly and stage it for everyone to see. That's the purpose of this WhipStat site.

If you have any questions about WhipStat, Voter Science, Tech Roanoke or our mission, visit the Voter Science website.
