ELEVATOR PITCH

A powerful loudspeaker to ignite lively conversations.

PRODUCT/SERVICE DESCRIPTION

Critizen is a social platform that allows users to connect and converse with people on all topics, at all times. Whether you’re sharing a negative restaurant experience, fighting for social causes, or simply wondering if you should buy a Mac or a PC, Critizen lets you be heard on your terms. Share your passions and your frustrations—speak up and gather support on the topics that most matter to you.

DIFFERENTIATORS VS. THE COMPETITION

We really don’t think we have competitors. We think we are that little something that is missing from your social sphere, the app that allows you to discuss what you want, with who you want, and when you want to. The reason we think we can succeed is the focus on building a reputation based on the quality of the content that you are publishing. This allows us to connect you with like-minded people, thus giving a great user experience.

BUSINESS MODEL

Free app.
