GeoPoll is figuring out what people are thinking, from Taiwan to Tanzania.

The company has raised $11.6 million for its mobile surveying technology, which lets organizations send out questions and get quickly get responses through text, voice call, or web-based surveys.

“There’s a huge need and opportunity for insights in the developing world,” President Steve Gutterman told VentureBeat. “These countries have dynamic economies, fast-growing GDPs, and can also be receiving large amounts of aid. Most importantly, they are poorly understood. Existing survey methodologies are inefficient and antiquated, or reliant on technologies that are inaccessible to large swaths of the population.”

75% of the world has access to mobile phones — far more than Internet access and landlines combined.  GeoPoll uses this connectivity for polling purposes. Gutterman said that the technology helps organizations get faster, more accurate and higher-value insights from populations that weren’t previously reachable.
