M100SC participant Eduardo Suárez about the meaning of his start-up “Politibot” for journalism

“Creating new business models to support journalism is more necessary than ever. That’s the reason I created Politibot along with a group of developers, journalists and political scientists. Finding new business models for journalism is essential to contain the dark forces that are threatening democracies all over the world but it is not enough. I covered the Brexit referendum for ‘Politibot’ and the US Presidential election for ‘Univision’. I covered dozens of Donald Trump events from Iowa to Maine and talked to some of his voters. Some of their answers helped me understand why he won and what other societies could do to defeat illiberal populism.”
