Scheduling Group Polls Meetings
Overview
Doodle, the Zurich-born scheduling service founded in 2007, popularized the group availability poll: propose slots, let everyone vote, and lock the winner. Alongside polls it now offers booking pages, one-to-one links and sign-up sheets. It remains the pragmatic pick for the scheduling problem VCs actually dread — herding a board, an LPAC or a syndicate of busy people into one meeting without a fifteen-email reply-all thread.
