One of the first projects to come through the door when the 4iP fund launched in the West Midlands last October was Yoosk.com. Back in those halcyon days when we lived in ignorance of how much it costs to buy a palatial residence for your anas, this site was already starting to tackle the issue of how the public can hold those in power accountable by giving users the opportunity to ask questions of politicians and other public figures and, most crucially, rate the answers. After an initial joint investment that allowed the company to carry out scoping work, 4iP and Screen WM have decided to follow their joint funding with a larger investment in Yoosk.com that will see the site develop and implement its strategy around user experience, driving communities to the site, and wider integration with existing online communities.
Last week they announced their latest partnership, with the Independent, to discover the UK’s best MP.
As we hurtle towards May and the general election, putting further investment into a site which facilitates a credible interaction between the public and their elected representatives is absolutely right for 4iP.
