**Smartup Zero** is an experiment to validate a radically transparent, democratic, public-good technology incubation model—"the Smartup Model"—with ONLIFE as its flagship project. The goal is to produce a resilient, open, mission-driven tech for the common good, addressing the limitations of traditional, venture-funded innovation pathways.

- **ONLIFE:** The technical product (EU-wide mesh emergency network).
- **Smartup:** The organizational “operating system” (collective ownership, governance, credits).
- **Smartup Zero:** The first real-world test/project for this model.
- **0_timeline.org:** Proposed as the living, up-to-date window and onboarding entry to Smartup experiments/projects.
