Our Goal

Make it as easy, quick and affordable to gather data over the phone as it is on the web.

For years people have been able to design and run web surveys on their own, but no such facility has existing for the phone. We want to enable people in fields as diverse as politics and government; non-profits and unions; hospitals and pharmaceuticals; newspapers, radio and TV; and corporate marketing to use the telephone to gather data - but we absolutely do no telemarketing, ever.

Executive Team

Precision Polling was founded by Gaurav Oberoi and Chuck Groom, two Internet startup veterans and longtime friends.

Gaurav Oberoi, Founder and CEO

Gaurav wears many hats: marketer, product manager, sales guy, and engineer. His past has prepared him well with a wide range of experiences that include: building and selling a consumer internet company (BillMonk), working as product manager at a consumer startup for industry veteran Mitch Kapor (at Xmarks), managing a team of engineers at a mobile payments company (Obopay), and working as an engineer on a core backend team at Amazon (Search and Browse).

Gaurav also co-founded Seattle Tech Startups, one of the largest startup technology communities in the state of Washington. He graduated from Rice University (TX) with a degree in Computer Science.

Charles Groom, Founder and CTO

Chuck isn't just responsible for the great technology behind Precision Polling, he is also responsible for designing and driving key product features with an eye towards customer need and clean interface design. Chuck's career includes: building and selling a consumer Internet company (BillMonk), developing entirely new product lines at a consumer internet startup (Xmarks), managing a team of engineers at a mobile payments company (Obopay), working as an engineer at Amazon where he presented future-reaching ideas to Jeff Bezos (Item Metadata team), and building software for mobile phones and embedded devices (Blue Mug).

Chuck graduated from Swarthmore College (PA) with a degree in Computer Science. Along with Gaurav, he co-founded Seattle Tech Startups.
