In a few sentences, tell us what your start-up is all about!:
Just Debate is a ‘Bitesize’ type political website that aims to portray all sides in contentious political debates and present it in a completely impartial manner. Many argue that our politics is governed either the elites or populist opinion but rarely are our political opinions educated. We want to change that.
We interview Pressure Groups, Charities, Politicians and Academics with very strong opinions on a wide range of issues; composing their arguments into key bullet points to summarise the argument. Our end goal is to increase our nations political participation, so the simplicity and note style of our articles is vital in attracting readers.

2016
Let us know a bit about your team, who are the key team members and what is their role?:
Founder: Benji Fisher
If applicable, what is your growth like? And what milestones has your startup achieved so far?:
The foundation of ‘Just Debate’ lies in the idea of helping everyone voices their opinions, irrespective of their social or economic background. While there is always a risk of an individual opinion being lost amongst the countless voices that are raised each day, we have ensured that everyone gets equal opportunity to showcase what they believe in a digitized debating platform.
The problems that occurred were mainly related to the technical aspect of getting everyone online on a single platform as people with contrary views can sometimes be difficult to monitor. However, these technicalities were resolved soon enough.
Why did you choose this particular idea and concept to build your start-up on?:
‘Just Debate’ is different because it allows real-time debating without having one to worry about any technical constraints. There are countless articles to refer, and some prominent voices from journalism, politics, and other domains to look up to. ‘Just Debate’ not only focuses on getting views and opinions, but also ensuring that each opinion comes together to shape a better world.
How big do you think you can get? Why? And how you are planning to achieve your goals?:
After the establishment of the platform, we would like to further diversify into issues that affect societies at a local level, and involve a greater proportion of the online population in issues that are otherwise unheard of in the mainstream media.
Finally, do you have any other comments or information about your product that you would like to add?:
‘Just Debate’ began with the idea to encourage young people along with everyone to voice their opinions in a constructive manner. The website has been designed to deliberate upon important topics and events that are current shaping the world we live in.
We invite people to register on our website through their personal information and become an integral part of a debating community that involves people from world over. ‘Just Debate’ is a digitized debating platform for the curious and eager ones, excited to give voice to their opinions and ideas for a better world.
