Pundit

Pundit was an audio social media platform backed by Disney and Techstars (TechStars NYC 2015 cohort) designed for bite-sized talkshows and voice-based social experiences. Founded in 2015 by Billy Shaw Susanto and Chris Aston, the app allowed users to create short audio snippets, apply voice filters, and share with followers or via private message. Pundit competed at TechCrunch Disrupt SF 2016 Startup Battlefield and raised $120,000 from the Disney TechStars accelerator. The company later pivoted and launched additional consumer and social apps under Pundit Inc. before winding down.
