Questions For You

Have you ever needed that last minute item for a meeting- like the large sticky chart paper or the multi-colored file folders and didn’t have time to go searching all over town?

Or maybe you needed a certain wine for a special occasion, but needed to know the nearest location carrying it before you set off looking?

Then maybe, on Valentine’s Day morning, you remember you signed up to take Valentine’s Day cookies to your son’s class. You drive to the nearest grocery store and they are out. You drive to another store, they are out, too. Now, you’re in a jam.

You take a road-trip and realize, you need an oil change, like NOW. You need a friend in this “other” town to know what the wait times look like, right, so you can get on with life?

And then . . . on vacation, you need a friend in this “other” town to help you find the real, authentic, organic answer to what are the wait times at urgent care facilities because your child has just erupted in 104 degree fever. What do you do?

At moments like this, don’t you wish you had a friend to ask? Someone who was there already? Someone you could ask a quick question? Don’t you wish you had a guiding star who could give you that quick, short answer about products, services or operations?

Well, that is what GotInfo is all about.

Allow us to explain. . .

Our Story

In October 2021, our founder, Magdalena Zepeda-SeLegue, a wife, a mother of two toddler boys, a busy English teacher, a community volunteer, a time-crunched professional, was set to attend a funeral. She was on her way, an hour away from home, when she happened to glance at the invitation card. It said, “strict black dress code is being enforced for the respect of the family.” ‘Oh oh,’ she thought, ‘My boys are wearing superhero t-shirts and camouflage shorts.’ So she drove to the nearest Walmart- the first establishment she thought would have black toddler clothing. It didn’t. She drove to Kohls. Nothing. She drove across town to another Walmart. Nothing. Ross. Nothing. Big Five? Nothing. After seven stores, she was in pain. She had taken the kids in and out of their carseats 7 times, had called stores, got no answer, drove to stores, used up tons of gas and still had NO black toddler clothes.

Being that she is a go-getter, Magdalena, began downloading big box store apps, but the process became too cumbersome. The children were now irritable, hungry, had missed their naps and they were not friendly AND the funeral services began in 30 minutes. She says she remembers thinking “Isn’t there someone I can ask? Isn’t there someone who can help me? Like be my eyes and ears at locations. I mean, there has to be someone nice, who could just give me a quick answer. There has to be a store around here, somewhere, like a mom and pop shop that carries black toddler pants.” That was when the GotInfo idea was born.

That evening, Magdalena mulled over the problem. She wrote it down on a napkin. She began thinking. Over the next few weeks, she began talking to friends, family, strangers about times when they needed something NOW. She discovered she was not the only one needing a friend. There were people looking for hard-to-find ethnic spices. When they could not find them, they would have to forgo precious, traditional family recipes. Individuals had searched for sulfite-free beer in the community to avoid allergic reactions. They struggled to find it. Young women needed flats during a wedding reception because their high heels were killing them and could not go too far because they were part of the wedding party. So they needed to find them nearby and NOW.  Then there was the baby formula shortage. Even the extra spicy Takis chips were needed NOW; and people realized that not EVERY store carries them. They are hard to find items, but finally after 5 stores they found them at the local swap meet.

Well, we all know that as time-crunched individuals, professionals, busy parents, going from store to store, shop to shop, establishment to establishment with or without kids, searching for something IS NOT how we want to spend our life. But it was finally when a health scare on the 4th of July in Portland, Oregon, that Magdalena decided to move forward with GotInfo and create the platform that would save consumers time, gas, money, effort and eliminate consumer stress.

Our Solution

The solution is the GotInfo app.

GotInfo was created to help consumers quickly find information about products, services, and business operations without having to drive from location to location, waste gas, spend hours searching, or make countless unanswered phone calls. In addition, GotInfo was created so members of the GotInfo community can create GotInfo posts in real-time and be the eyes and ears for others.

Through the GotInfo app, people are helping people find hard-to-find products, locate a nearby service, know if an item is in stock, or obtain information before leaving home. GotInfo is designed to make the consumer process faster, easier, and less stressful.

At the same time, businesses benefit by gaining visibility at the exact moment consumers are actively searching. This creates new opportunities for local establishments to connect with customers, increase foot traffic, improve customer service, and better understand community demand.

As GotInfo grows, we also envision expanding our community reporting efforts. Through future partnerships, volunteers, community contributors, and trained GotInfo specialists, we hope to provide additional live coverage from local establishments, events, and high-demand locations. 

By joining the GotInfo community today, you become part of a community that values connection, communication, and helping one another find what they need.

Together, we can reduce wasted time, money, gas, and effort while bringing more simplicity, efficiency, and strategy to everyday life.

Because sometimes the information you need is only one answer away.

And that’s exactly why GotInfo exists.
