Crowdpurr

Overview

Crowdpurr is a cloud-based audience engagement platform designed to power interactive experiences for live, virtual, and hybrid events. The platform enables organizers, corporate trainers, and educators to create real-time trivia games, live polls, Q&A sessions, and social media walls. Attendees participate instantly from any web browser on their mobile devices without downloading an app. Event hosts manage questions, control playback, and display live leaderboards on projectors or virtual video streams.

Founder story

Crowdpurr was founded in 2012 by Ross Newton in Los Angeles, California. Recognizing that live event audiences were increasingly distracted by mobile devices, Newton developed Crowdpurr to transform smartphones into tools for active participation. The company created a web-first gamification system that lets organizers launch live trivia and polling without needing custom app development.
