QuestionPro gobbles up PollBob to bolster mobile offerings

▤ Summary

QuestionPro is buying PollBob, a small New Orleans consumer Internet startup that specializes in online and mobile polling technology. Terms of the deal weren’t disclosed, but QuestionPro CEO Vivek Bhaskaran tells GeekWire that the acquisition will help strengthen its battle against Survey Monkey, especially in the increasingly important mobile arena. Bhaskaran said that PollBob will add to QuestionPro’s own polling, mobile research and survey technology, products which tend to be used more in business settings. In 2009, Spectrum Equity and Bain Capital Ventures purchased a majority stake in Survey Monkey. And speaking of acquisitions, PollBob itself earlier this year purchased the site Mister Poll.
