Smartup Zero: the first Smartup
A Smartup is a collective that democratically creates, owns and governs a technology that helps humans progress on the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.
Onlive is the first Smartup you can join. It's a self-sustainable communication network for communities all over the world to combat climate, economic and social injustice from within their own communities.

It's is a system change marketplace where scientist, engineers, designers and artists come together to collaborate on technologies that address the pressing challenges of our time.
They come together in Smartups. These are organizations that practice co-ownership, co-workmanship, and co-governance as a democratic collective intelligence over a technology. Smartups create technologies that help people progress on the UNITED NATIONS Sustainable Development Goals (SDG'S).
Smartup Zero is the first Smartup. It's an experiment in technology design. We are trying out a new route. If we succeed it can serve as a template technology for many other collective tech to come. It's what we'll need in our fight for a future for all.
