About us
Digital Peace Talks gUG is the pre-Seed vehicle used to develop the algorithmic concept of polarized, a white label communication platform that promotes respectful dissent – or as we call it “good online discussions at large”.

User journey: Participants register anonymously and state their opinion to a given question/topic. They choose other opinions to have 1-on-1 chats. Both sides rate respect and dissent of their interaction.

Algorithmic Logic: Opinions are visualized as nodes on a circle. Opinions that agree with each other are placed close to each other. The further away an opinion, the more their respect counts. Nodes with high respect scores move closer to the middle, effectively pushing participant with low respect for/from opponent (p. ex. Hate Speech) to the fringe.

We are looking to explore a wide range of business and use cases:
