Hedge Connection an iOS and Android audience voting app for Deal Ring, Hedge Connection’s Dragons’ Den-style event where fund managers pitch to a panel of hedge fund investors, called Ringmasters, before a live audience.
The app allows the audience, also made up of investment professionals, to participate in judging the fund manager pitches.
The website and audience voting apps feature an easy to navigate design that worked in real-time to provide both a voting interface and a voting results display for all the attendees at the event. Based on the audience and Ringmaster feedback, the managers would land a meeting with a Ringmaster to discuss a potential allocation in their fund.
The mobile apps and website were developed by Vancouver-based 14 Oranges.
“We were looking for a mobile app solution that we could tie into this unique event format,” says Rob Arthurs, Co-Founder at Hedge Connection. “14 Oranges was able to provide their audience voting app in a timely fashion, and it helped to make our event very engaging for our attendees.”
