At the Polar Bear Pitching Event, where entrepreneurs took the stage in icy waters to present their startups, FRISPEECH won the Audience Favorite Award, a clear sign that free speech matters.

FRISPEECH founder, Sahel Lahoo, pitched FRISPEECH as a platform for uncensored online discussions, allowing users to comment on any website, even where traditional comment sections are blocked or moderated. The enthusiastic response from the audience proved that the need for digital freedom and open discourse is stronger than ever.

“This event wasn’t just about startups; it was about bold ideas that challenge the status quo,” said one of the organizers. And that’s exactly what FRISPEECH stands for.

Winning the audience award motivates us even more to push forward. We’re building a future where everyone can speak freely—no censorship, no gatekeepers.
