NOLA: VoteIt Grabs $800K To Make Group Decisions Easy; New Program To Foster Citys Startups

I0DRUTaJx3oKJ8solWWOm0k8xA8SpiBx2wtthGBPsEurwhRI8lJsVNzj88b0ODJxwZ7dQmk0A6A71qtIsi0gkGC7TNtckeW5WZaJzXgGq2gU4wmxoxkVoteIt, a New Orleans-based startup focused on helping groups make decisions with realtime voting tools, announced today that it has raised $800,000 in seed funding from a group of local angels. And, in an example that should prove intriguing to those entrepreneurs looking to make Louisiana home base, VoteIt told us today that it is one of the many startups taking advantage of the state's tax credit programs aimed at encouraging early-stage businesses (and their investors) to set up shop in Louisiana. For example, there's the Angel Investor tax credit, which provides state income or franchise tax credits of up to 35 percent for entrepreneurial businesses; as well as the Digital Media tax credit, which offers a tax credit of 25 percent on production expenditures for digital interactive productions in the state and 35 percent tax credit for payroll expenditures for Louisiana residents. Pretty cool.
