<div class="admonition info">
<p class="admonition-title">What is this?</p>
<p>Smartups are designed as digital-first, globally-distributed organizations that transcend national boundaries and political cycles. We envision a new external framework where planetary challenges get planetary solutions, free from the distortions of nation-state politics.</p>
</div>
<h3 id="beyond-borders-beyond-politics">Beyond Borders, Beyond Politics<a class="headerlink" href="#beyond-borders-beyond-politics" title="Permanent link">&para;</a></h3>
<p>When we look at why organizations fail to address SDGs, we see a pattern: they get trapped in political cycles, pulled by national interests, and distracted by daily crises. A startup in Silicon Valley optimizes for US tax law. An NGO in Brussels navigates EU regulations. A company in Singapore plays different rules than one in São Paulo.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, climate change doesn't care about borders. Inequality doesn't pause for elections. The SDGs don't shift with news cycles.</p>
<div class="admonition warning">
<p class="admonition-title">The Defocused Organization</p>
<p><strong>Smartups are intentionally defocused from:</strong><br>
- Daily political drama<br>
- National election cycles<br>
- Geopolitical tensions<br>
- Regulatory arbitrage<br>
- News cycle reactions<br><br>
<strong>We stay focused on:</strong><br>
- SDGs (always on the horizon)<br>

<p>We know:<br>
- Nation-states won't disappear<br>

- Borders still matter for humans<br>
- Local laws affect contributors<br><br>
But digital organizations can operate above this layer, just as the internet routes around censorship.</p>

- TCP/IP doesn't care about borders<br>
