# :material-history: Project History
!!! info "What is this?"
The decade-long journey from a TNO research project to ONLIFE—and how it birthed the Smartup model itself. This is our collective memory of how we got here.
## The Evolution: From Apps to Emergency Infrastructure
### Phase 1: The Origin - Transient Apps (2016-2017)
Our story begins with a research collaboration between **TNO** (Dutch research organization) and **RS New Media Concepts**. The problem: smartphone users drowning in app choices. The solution: **"Transient Apps"**—lightweight applications that appear when needed, disappear when not.
**What we built:**<br>
- The **Context Engine**: An algorithm predicting user needs based on physical location<br>
- Automatic delivery of relevant web apps<br>
- Working prototype proving the concept<br>
**What stopped us:**<br>
Platform gatekeepers (Google, Apple) would never allow it. They were already building their own versions (Instant Apps, Progressive Web Apps). We hit a dead end.
!!! success "Phase 1 Outcome"
Research validated but path blocked by platform control:<br>
- Context-aware app delivery proven<br>
- User need confirmed<br>
- Technical feasibility demonstrated<br>
- Platform dependency identified<br>
[:material-file-document: Transient Apps Research Report](../assets/pdfs/Final Report_HTSM TKI Transient apps.pdf){ target=_blank .md-button }
### Phase 2: The First Pivot - "Onlive" Social Networks (2017-2019)
Rather than abandon the Context Engine, we pivoted. If we couldn't change how apps work, could we change how people connect?
**The ethical awakening:**<br>
As Facebook's scandals mounted, we faced a choice: build another data-harvesting social network or find a different path. We chose differently. Instead of connecting individuals online, we'd connect **groups of people in their immediate physical world**.
**"Onlive: the social network for the real world"**<br>
- Context Engine repurposed to identify relevant groups<br>
- Seven Dutch business partners provided feedback<br>
- UX and architecture developed<br>
**The revelation:**<br>
We weren't building an app. We were building an **Operating System for group interaction in the real world**.
!!! success "Phase 2 Outcome"
Proof of Concept delivered:<br>
- Android prototype functional<br>
- Backend architecture designed<br>
- UX patterns established<br>
- Business validation complete<br>
[:material-file-document: Onlive Research Report](../assets/pdfs/Onlive final report.pdf){ target=_blank .md-button }
### Phase 3: The Governance Pivot - Birth of the Smartup Model (2019-2020)
With research complete, the logical next step was forming a traditional startup. But was it the *right* step?
**The dilemma:**<br>
- Public-good technology<br>
- Complex social mission<br>
- Poor fit for VC model<br>
**The insight:**<br>
> "How we create is as important as what we create."
The organizational structure itself needed to embody our values: open, democratic, mission-driven.
**The Smartup Model emerges:**<br>
We began designing a new type of organization based on:<br>
- Collective ownership<br>
- Democratic governance<br>
- Scientific rigor<br>
- SDG alignment<br>
!!! success "Phase 3 Outcome"
New organizational model conceptualized:<br>
- Smartup governance structure defined<br>
- Economic model designed<br>
- Democratic principles embedded<br>
- Blueprint for future documented<br>
[:material-file-document: Smartup Zero Original Whitepaper](../assets/pdfs/Smartup Zero - a blueprint for disruption (book)_compressed.pdf){ target=_blank .md-button }
### Phase 4: The COVID Pivot & Academic Validation (2020-2022)
The pandemic provided an urgent, real-world test case. Could Onlive enable **"Digital Herd Immunity"** through group-tracing rather than individual contact-tracing?
**Academic collaboration with Erasmus Programme:**<br>
- Security challenges addressed<br>
- UX refined for crisis scenarios<br>
- Concept validation in pandemic context<br>
- Technical feasibility confirmed<br>
The world suddenly understood why decentralized, resilient communication matters.
!!! success "Phase 4 Outcome"
Academic validation achieved:<br>
- UX patterns for crisis communication<br>
- Security model validated<br>
- User research completed<br>
- Emergency use cases confirmed<br>
[:material-file-document: UX Research Report](../assets/pdfs/UX MVP 2022.pdf){ target=_blank .md-button }
### Phase 5: Technical Deep Dive - Mesh Networking (2023-2024)
To truly work without internet, we needed to go deeper into the networking layer.
**Partnership with HanzeHogeschool:**<br>
- Open-source mesh network implementation<br>
- Smartphone-native protocols<br>
- Beyond proof-of-concept to production-ready<br>
- Ad-hoc network formation without infrastructure<br>
We weren't just building an app anymore. We were building alternative internet infrastructure.
!!! success "Phase 5 Outcome"
**Mesh protocol designed and tested:**<br>
- 75+ node networks achieved<br>
- Android implementation working<br>
- Bluetooth/WiFi Direct integration<br>
- Open source architecture defined<br>
[:material-file-document: Mesh Network Protocol Design](../assets/pdfs/NLUUG - Smartup Zero - Hanze Copy .pptx.pdf){ target=_blank .md-button }
### Phase 6: The Final Pivot - ONLIFE Emergency Network (2025-Present)
Ten years of pivots, research, and refinement crystallized into a clear mission.
**From ONLIVE to ONLIFE:**<br>
Not just "online live"—but a network for LIFE itself. When everything else fails, ONLIFE remains.
**The focus sharpens:**<br>
- Emergency communication for citizens<br>
- Works without internet or telecoms<br>
- Mesh network using existing smartphones<br>
- European civil resilience infrastructure<br>
!!! success "Phase 6 Outcome"
**The experiment begins:**<br>
- Smartup Zero launched<br>
- Community forming<br>
- Development starting<br>
- Everything transparent<br>
**As an owner, you get access to all code, documentation, and decisions in real-time.**
!!! quote "Why the Name Change"
"ONLIVE was about being online in live settings. ONLIFE is about staying connected when life itself is at stake. It's not just a network—it's a lifeline."
## The Dual Innovation
What makes our history unique is that we didn't just develop technology—we developed a new way to develop technology:
1. **ONLIFE**: The emergency communication protocol
2. **Smartup Model**: The organizational form to build it
Both innovations emerged from the same insight: existing systems—technical and organizational—aren't fit for planetary challenges.
!!! success "From Research to Reality"
- 10 years of research<br>
- Multiple pivots based on ethical considerations<br>
- Academic validation<br>
- Technical proof of concept<br>
- Organizational innovation<br>
- **Now**: Building it together as Smartup Zero<br>
## Key Partners Along the Journey
- **TNO**: Original research partner (2016-2017)
- **RS New Media Concepts**: Initial development
- **Seven Dutch businesses**: Early feedback partners
- **Erasmus Programme**: COVID-era validation
- **HanzeHogeschool**: Mesh networking research
- **You**: The next chapter begins with collective ownership

# :material-flask: The Smartup Experiment - Overview
# :material-flask: Experiment Overview
!!! info "What is this?"
Your quick guide to understanding Smartups — a new kind of organization that fixes what's broken in how we build technology for global challenges. Each section links to detailed explanations.
A concise map of our experiment design: how we put the Smartup Hypothesis into practice
by redesigning the Social, Technical, and External subsystems. Follow the links to dive deeper.
---
??? tip "Just give me the abstract"
The Smartup Hypothesis is a set of rules, processes, workflows, and tools that together form an operating system designed to help large groups collaborate transparently, efficiently, and mission-driven toward tools for the SDGs.
## From Hypothesis to Experiment
In essence, we're building a better toolkit for future generations. The system is described below as a living organism. Well dive into its natural habitat, anatomy, and metabolism.
Building on our core hypothesis, Smartup Zero tests three system tweaks:
In a Smartup, "citizens" work collaboratively and interchangeably on ideas that break old paradigms and reveal new ways forward. It is an organization designed to create tools for people to work both *on* and *within* their communities.
- :material-account-group: Social Subsystem
From fragmented “users” to democratic citizens—transparent governance, peer workflows, and collective ownership.
## What's a Smartup?
- :material-server: Technical Subsystem
From isolated tools to group-first design—dual-currency economy, license model, sovereign open-source stack, and automated administration.
A Smartup is the **opposite of a startup**. Instead of racing toward an exit for venture capitalists, we're building sustainable technology businesses that tackle UN Sustainable Development Goals.
**The key difference**: Everyone who contributes owns an equal share. Everyone sees every decision. Everyone focuses on impact — not stock prices.
## The Three System Adjustments
We identified [three system faults](the-observation.md) blocking SDG progress. Here's how Smartups fix them:
### :material-account-group: Social Adjustment
**From "Hamsters in the Wheel" to Collective Power**
**The Problem**
People feel powerless, trapped in systems that benefit from their distraction.
**Our Fix**
Democratic ownership and governance where every contributor has equal voice and stake.
**Key innovations**:
- [The 6 Groups structure](social-subsystem.md#the-six-groups-of-productivity)
- [ADM Triangle](social-subsystem.md#the-adm-triangle-our-operating-system)
- [Buddy System](social-subsystem.md#the-buddy-system-never-work-alone)
- [Identity Protocols](social-subsystem.md#identity-protocols-who-we-become-in-each-space)
[:material-arrow-right: Explore the social subsystem](social-subsystem.md)
- :material-earth: External Subsystem
From national silos to planetary organizations—borderless operations, equal pay, and a roadmap to global recognition.
---
### :material-server: Technical Adjustment
**From "Isolated Users" to Collective Intelligence**
**The Problem**
Technology treats us as individual consumers, not collaborating citizens.
**Our Fix**
Tools and economics designed for group productivity.
**Key innovations**:
- [Dual Currency System](technical-subsystem.md#labor-economics-how-work-gets-valued)
- [Four License Model](technical-subsystem.md#revenue-model-the-four-license-system)
- [EU-Sovereign Tech Stack](technical-subsystem.md#the-technical-stack-tools-for-collective-intelligence)
- [Transparent Treasury](technical-subsystem.md#business-operations)

**The central document for all Smartup Zero owners**
====================================================
The Official Smartup Business Plan (OSBP) is the central repository for all Smartup information, accessible to all owners. It originates from the entrepreneur's initial business plan, encompassing the product presentation, research sources, and the definition of ready for design. During the Validation phase, teams complete domain-specific assessments using the OSBP. This fosters organization and leads to Team Captain selection and the Project Leaders Team formation. This team, including captains and the entrepreneur, manages day-to-day operations, aligns via video conferences, makes decisions, and prepares the OSBP. Their completeness is essential to proceed beyond Validation.
Abstract:
---------
Onlive is a novel transient network protocol designed for smartphones forming dynamic groups within a shared physical context, omitting the need for traditional servers, transmission towers, or even satellites. Operating independently of standard internet infrastructure, the protocol enables connectivity based on the prevalence of mobile phones in a specific area. It outlines procedures for connecting smartphones as they transition through various situations, events, and areas with their owners, establishing a transient communication infrastructure utilizing UDP. This facilitates the sharing of vital information during dire circumstances, such as natural or manmade disasters, serving as a resilient tool for communities. Onlive empowers communities to enhance disaster response, expedite resource sharing, and foster informed discussions in classrooms, ultimately offering a self-reliant solution for navigating the impacts of a rapidly changing natural and cultural climate. The netowork achieves these goals without dependency on third-party hardware or software. Smartup Zero presents a collaborative initiative to develop and manage Onlive-mesh, an open-source ad hoc mesh network technology designed for groups of smartphones. This novel implementation enables the rapid establishment of local private networks, fostering quick and resilient data sharing, particularly suited for small to medium-sized networks in post-disaster communication blackouts.
The project encompasses preliminary research, culminating in the design of a mesh network protocol tailored for WiFi-capable devices like smartphones, signalling readiness for the programming phase. Anticipated by the end of Q1 2025, a beta testable version of the Android app leveraging this networking technology aims to be released. This application empowers users to seamlessly create, navigate and join different groups (networks). Within these groups, mesh networks are deployed, facilitating the execution of specific software accessible to all group members, enhancing communication in diverse scenarios.
Ultimately, the Smartup Zero collective aims to provide a self-sufficient solution for overcoming communication challenges in the wake of rapidly changing natural and cultural climates. Notably, Onlive operates independently, free from external hardware or software dependencies, exemplifying its innovative and resilient network technology potential.
Executive Summary
-----------------
The time for startups is over. Its time to grow up. In a world facing a natural and cultural crisis, it is evident that we need the right toolset to stand a chance. To me, its also evident that our current one, does not do the trick.  
This Official Smartup Zero Business Plan (OSBP) is the central hub of information for all participants in the Smartup Zero experiment. If you made it this far, it means you are on the verge of becoming a co-owner of a technology that has the potential to help communities all over the world to be resilient, humane and intelligent in their fight for a safe, sustainable and social environment.  You seek to prove that by empowering communities with a new toolset, we have a better shot at dealing with our changing natural and cultural climate. You commit to help build and govern the first tool of that toolset. By giving us control over our own digital tools, we can still make it. You have seen how fast digital technologies are able to  cause mass behaviour. That is a power that can be forged for good as well. 
Unlike traditional startups, Smartups are founded on the principle that technology should serve the needs of humanity, not the other way around. To define what serves humanity we rely on the most comprehensive political and scientific framework in the world that has been designed and researched to tackle critical global challenges: the 17 United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). One of the most important conditions for a Smartup to exist is that it should create a technology that complies with at least one of these goals. Smartup technologies are democratically governed, scientifically validated, and created with the explicit intention of being owned and managed by the people who use and build them. The current paradigm, dominated by corporate interests and profit-driven technology, has led to widespread issues such as data exploitation, misinformation, democratic influences and environmental degradation. Billionaire entrepreneurs are diverting resources to trivial pursuits, while the planet faces unprecedented challenges, technology leaves us naked and volnerable. It is time to move beyond the juvenile stage of startups and step into a more mature, responsible era of technological development.
Smartup Zero introduces a new type of organization—**the Smartup**—where technology is built collectively, owned democratically, and governed scientificly. The first technology to be developed under this model is **Onlive**, a decentralized communication network that functions independently of traditional infrastructure. Onlive empowers communities to create their own networks, ensuring connectivity and coordination during crises and beyond. It serves as a tool for local resilience, enabling citizens to organize and respond to real-world issues without relying on corporate or governmental control.
This experiment is not about creating a single solution but about developing the tools and frameworks necessary for future generations to address our complex challenges. We aim to foster a culture of collective action and shared responsibility by providing communities with technologies they own and control. The experiment can lead to a blueprint that we can use to identify, create and market humane technologies fast and furious. Technologies we need in our daunting quest for a future for all mankind. We all feel and see our world change fast. Tetanic plates are crashing. Our cultural AND natural systems are colliding.  The business plan invites coders, designers, researchers,  investors, innovators, and community leaders to join this transformative journey. By supporting Smartup Zero, you are investing in a new model of technological development that prioritizes the well-being of our planet and its people over profits. Together, we can build the digital tools needed to navigate our most pressing challenges and ensure a sustainable future for all for all mankind.Lets get to work,Robbert Schep

The **Smartup Hypothesis** asserts a fundamental distinction between a **Smartup** and a traditional startup: a Smartup exclusively creates technologies that the world genuinely needs. This necessity is defined in three key dimensions:
1. **Alignment with the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs):** Smartups ensure that the technologies they create address one or more of the 17 SDGs, which provide a globally agreed-upon framework for solving critical social, environmental, and economic challenges.
2. **Scientific Grounding:** A Smartup's technology must have a solid scientific basis, meaning there is evidence that the proposed solution can effectively solve the targeted problem. This is achieved by conducting research, gathering data, and validating the technology through scientific inquiry and peer-reviewed studies.
3. **Democratic Grounding:** Finally, a Smartup must prove that enough people actually want and support the creation of the technology. This is achieved through **crowdfunding** and **community-building** efforts. By building teams, rallying support, and reaching financial thresholds, the project demonstrates that there is collective interest and demand, ensuring the technology will serve real, widespread needs.
Together, these three pillars—global alignment, scientific validation, and democratic support—form the core of the Smartup approach, ensuring that each project is not only innovative but also impactful, necessary, and desired by the community.

<p>The decade-long journey from a TNO research project to <abbr title="First pilot project of Smartup Zero—an open-source emergency mesh network prototype for smartphones that functions when all other networks fail.">ONLIFE</abbr>—and how it birthed the <abbr title="A digital cooperative that builds tools for resilience and SDG advancement through transparent, collective systems.">Smartup</abbr> model itself.

<p>Our story begins with a research collaboration between <strong>TNO</strong> (Dutch research organization) and <strong>RS New Media Concepts</strong>. The problem: smartphone users drowning in app choices. The solution: <strong>"Transient Apps"</strong>—lightweight applications that appear when needed, disappear when not.</p>
<p><strong>What we built:</strong><br>
- The <strong>Context Engine</strong>: An algorithm predicting user needs based on physical location<br>
- Automatic delivery of relevant web apps<br>
- Working prototype proving the concept<br></p>
<p><strong>What stopped us:</strong><br>
Platform gatekeepers (Google, Apple) would never allow it. They were already building their own versions (Instant Apps, Progressive Web Apps). We hit a dead end.</p>
<div class="admonition success">
<p class="admonition-title">Phase 1 Outcome</p>
<p>Research validated but path blocked by platform control:<br>
- Context-aware app delivery proven<br>
- User need confirmed<br>

<p>Rather than abandon the Context Engine, we pivoted. If we couldn't change how apps work, could we change how people connect?</p>
<p><strong>The ethical awakening:</strong><br>
As Facebook's scandals mounted, we faced a choice: build another data-harvesting social network or find a different path. We chose differently. Instead of connecting individuals online, we'd connect <strong>groups of people in their immediate physical world</strong>.</p>
<p><strong>"Onlive: the social network for the real world"</strong><br>
- Context Engine repurposed to identify relevant groups<br>
- Seven Dutch business partners provided feedback<br>
- UX and architecture developed<br></p>
<p><strong>The revelation:</strong><br>
We weren't building an app. We were building an <strong>Operating System for group interaction in the real world</strong>.</p>

<p>With research complete, the logical next step was forming a traditional startup. But was it the <em>right</em> step?</p>
<p><strong>The dilemma:</strong><br>
- Public-good technology<br>
- Complex social mission<br>
- Poor fit for VC model<br></p>
<p><strong>The insight:</strong><br></p>
<blockquote>
<p>"How we create is as important as what we create."</p>

<p>In this new design for a the Social Subsystem redesigns how people work together by introducing democratic governance, peer support structures, and fluid identity protocols. Instead of traditional management, Smartups rely on a balance between autonomy, discipline, and mission-alignment — enforced not by authority, but by structure. Contributors operate in role-based groups, make collective decisions using the <abbr title="AttackerDefenderMidfielder triad. Ensures initiation, review, and automation are always present in work processes.">ADM Triangle</abbr>, and support each other through systems like the Buddy Program.

<p>When we look at traditional approaches to SDG challenges, we see a pattern that keeps failing us. NGOs burn out on donation fatigue, never achieving the scale needed for real impact. Social enterprises start with good intentions but get pulled toward profit over purpose when investors come knocking. Volunteer projects, despite passionate contributors, can't maintain the professional quality that complex global challenges demand.</p>
<p>We need something different—a model that combines business discipline with public good DNA.</p>

<p>The <abbr title="A digital cooperative that builds tools for resilience and SDG advancement through trustworthy collective systems.">Smartup</abbr> Hypothesis is a set of rules, processes, workflows, and tools that together form an operating system designed to help large groups collaborate transparently, efficiently, and mission-driven toward tools for the SDGs.</p>
<p>In essence, we're building a better toolkit for future generations. The system is described below as a living organism. Well dive into its natural habitat, anatomy, and metabolism.</p>
<p>In a <abbr title="A digital cooperative that builds tools for resilience and SDG advancement through trustworthy collective systems.">Smartup</abbr>, "citizens" work collaboratively and interchangeably on ideas that break old paradigms and reveal new ways forward.

<p>When we look honestly at the worlds urgent challenges, its not just their complexity that weighs on us—its the shape our own societies are in to overcome them. We find ourselves divided, distracted, and often addicted to digital habits, while the most powerful organizations on earth benefit from keeping us apart. Increasingly, our technology is designed to isolate us—as users, as consumers, not as collaborators or citizens. This is what we call the isolated human doctrine.</p>
<p>This doctrine does more than make us passive—it also convinces us to wait for someone else to solve the crisis. Were conditioned to look to governments, powerful leaders, or brands to invent our way out of these problems. But the truth is, they wont. Deep down, we know we need to step up—not as lone heroes, but as people who are a bit more organized, a bit more connected, and united by purpose.</p>
<p>Weve been told a better world starts with “fixing yourself.” If we face these challenges alone, everything feels too big to tackle. But if we face them together, maybe—just maybe—they become possible.</p>

<p>We feel a growing sense of urgency as we watch our grip on the world slip away—just when we need clarity and collective strength the most. The explosion of digital content and internet access was supposed to empower us. It did make knowledge more available than ever. Now, everyone can publish, create, and share at the speed of thought.</p>
<p>But all this information hasnt brought us together—its become a battleground for the agendas of corporations and political powers. Instead of uniting us, todays internet is often used to distract, confuse, and divide. Powerful interests, not people, steer the flow of content and shape what we believe.</p>
<p>Somehow, we have let this happen: the internets promise hijacked by those who profit from division and distraction, instead of fostering the collaboration we urgently need. Theres no single cause, but the result is clear—a system that floods us with information, but makes meaningful, collective change harder than ever.</p>

<p>Abstract:</p>
<p>Onlive is a novel transient network protocol designed for smartphones forming dynamic groups within a shared physical context, omitting the need for traditional servers, transmission towers, or even satellites. Operating independently of standard internet infrastructure, the protocol enables connectivity based on the prevalence of mobile phones in a specific area. It outlines procedures for connecting smartphones as they transition through various situations, events, and areas with their owners, establishing a transient communication infrastructure utilizing UDP. This facilitates the sharing of vital information during dire circumstances, such as natural or manmade disasters, serving as a resilient tool for communities. Onlive empowers communities to enhance disaster response, expedite resource sharing, and foster informed discussions in classrooms, ultimately offering a self-reliant solution for navigating the impacts of a rapidly changing natural and cultural climate. The netowork achieves these goals without dependency on third-party hardware or software. </p>
<p><abbr title="A digital cooperative that builds tools for resilience and SDG advancement through trustworthy collective systems.">Smartup</abbr> Zero presents a collaborative initiative to develop and manage Onlive-mesh, an open-source ad hoc mesh network technology designed for groups of smartphones. This novel implementation enables the rapid establishment of local private networks, fostering quick and resilient data sharing, particularly suited for small to medium-sized networks in post-disaster communication blackouts.</p>

<p>Executive Summary
The time for startups is over. Its time to grow up. In a world facing a natural and cultural crisis, it is evident that we need the right toolset to stand a chance. To me, its also evident that our current one, does not do the trick. </p>
<p>This Official <abbr title="A digital cooperative that builds tools for resilience and SDG advancement through trustworthy collective systems.">Smartup</abbr> Zero Business Plan (OSBP) is the central hub of information for all participants in the <abbr title="A digital cooperative that builds tools for resilience and SDG advancement through trustworthy collective systems.">Smartup</abbr> Zero experiment. If you made it this far, it means you are now a co-owner of a technology that has the potential to help communities all over the world to be resilient, humane and intelligent in their fight for a safe, sustainable and social environment. You seek to prove that by empowering communities with a new toolset, we have a better shot at dealing with our changing natural and cultural climate. You commit to help build and govern the first tool of that toolset. By giving us control over our own digital tools, we can still make it. You have seen how fast digital technologies are able to cause mass behaviour. That is a power that can be forged for good as well. </p>
<p>Unlike traditional startups, Smartups are founded on the principle that technology should serve the needs of humanity, not the other way around. To define what serves humanity we rely on the most comprehensive political and scientific framework in the world that has been designed and researched to tackle critical global challenges: the 17 United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). One of the most important conditions for a <abbr title="A digital cooperative that builds tools for resilience and SDG advancement through trustworthy collective systems.">Smartup</abbr> to exist is that it should create a technology that complies with at least one of these goals. </p>
<p><abbr title="A digital cooperative that builds tools for resilience and SDG advancement through trustworthy collective systems.">Smartup</abbr> technologies are democratically governed, scientifically validated, and created with the explicit intention of being owned and managed by the people who use and build them. The current paradigm, dominated by corporate interests and profit-driven technology, has led to widespread issues such as data exploitation, misinformation, democratic influences and environmental degradation. Billionaire entrepreneurs are diverting resources to trivial pursuits, while the planet faces unprecedented challenges, technology leaves us naked and volnerable. It is time to move beyond the juvenile stage of startups and step into a more mature, responsible era of technological development.
<abbr title="A digital cooperative that builds tools for resilience and SDG advancement through trustworthy collective systems.">Smartup</abbr> Zero introduces a new type of organization—the <abbr title="A digital cooperative that builds tools for resilience and SDG advancement through trustworthy collective systems.">Smartup</abbr>—where technology is built collectively, owned democratically, and governed scientificly.

This necessity is defined in three key dimensions:
Alignment with the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs): Smartups ensure that the technologies they create address one or more of the 17 SDGs, which provide a globally agreed-upon framework for solving critical social, environmental, and economic challenges.
Scientific Grounding: A <abbr title="A digital cooperative that builds tools for resilience and SDG advancement through trustworthy collective systems.">Smartup</abbr>'s technology must have a solid scientific basis, meaning there is evidence that the proposed solution can effectively solve the targeted problem. This is achieved by conducting research, gathering data, and validating the technology through scientific inquiry and peer-reviewed studies.
Democratic Grounding: Finally, a <abbr title="A digital cooperative that builds tools for resilience and SDG advancement through trustworthy collective systems.">Smartup</abbr> must prove that enough people actually want and support the creation of the technology. This is achieved through crowdfunding and community-building efforts. By building teams, rallying support, and reaching financial thresholds, the project demonstrates that there is collective interest and demand, ensuring the technology will serve real, widespread needs.
Together, these three pillars—global alignment, scientific validation, and democratic support—form the core of the <abbr title="A digital cooperative that builds tools for resilience and SDG advancement through trustworthy collective systems.">Smartup</abbr> approach, ensuring that each project is not only innovative but also impactful, necessary, and desired by the community.</p>

Democratic Grounding: Finally, a <abbr title="A digital cooperative that builds tools for resilience and SDG advancement through transparent, collective systems.">Smartup</abbr> must prove that enough people actually want and support the creation of the technology. This is achieved through crowdfunding and community-building efforts. By building teams, rallying support, and reaching financial thresholds, the project demonstrates that there is collective interest and demand, ensuring the technology will serve real, widespread needs.
Together, these three pillars—global alignment, scientific validation, and democratic support—form the core of the <abbr title="A digital cooperative that builds tools for resilience and SDG advancement through transparent, collective systems.">Smartup</abbr> approach, ensuring that each project is not only innovative but also impactful, necessary, and desired by the community.</p>
