The Experiment

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.
