The whole picture
The pillars
From knowledge to funding, from building to broadcasting: five capabilities an alternative needs to exist and last.
01 — Have the ideas
Knowledge
Capture, connect and retrieve what you learn.
A memory that belongs to you: your notes, your sources, your ideas, organised by you. The starting point — without ideas, nothing begins.

Technique
Understand and steer what keeps your projects running.
See what your infrastructure is doing, without depending on a team or a budget you don't have. Keep your hand on the machine rather than submit to it.
See the solution03 — Bring into being
Creation
Produce and give form to what you launch.
From idea to product: the tools to build, iterate and ship what you create, with no chain of middlemen between you and your work.
In progress
04 — The sinews of war
Funding
Fund what you undertake, with no intermediary taking a cut.
Two parts: raising funds and investing, and collecting your payments by your own means, without depending on an intermediary that takes its share.
By invitation05 — Make yourself known
Communication
Send, reach, be heard — by your own means.
Your messages leave from your own place, with no intermediary filtering or monetising your audience. Speak to the world without asking permission.
