Building the Future of Digital Sovereignty
OurWorld creates and supports ventures that put sovereignty back in the hands of people and communities. Each venture in our ecosystem contributes to a future where individuals and organizations own their digital presence, data, and destiny.
"We need a human-centric Internet co-owned by all of us, as was intended from the start. One where everyone is equal, where everyone owns their own data, allowing human flourishing to thrive."
MISSION
Digital Sovereignty for All
We believe access to compute, data ownership, and digital tools should be fundamental rights, not privileges granted by corporations. Our ventures create a parallel system where individuals and communities can achieve true digital sovereignty.
Our work spans decentralized internet infrastructure, sovereign data systems, legal structures for autonomy, and AI frameworks that amplify rather than replace human capability. The foundation was built over two decades developing decentralized internet infrastructure, made possible by thousands of contributors worldwide.
Now we're expanding that foundation into a full ecosystem where sovereignty isn't just technical, it's legal, financial, and accessible.
