A BENED Project

Your children should
inherit the technology.

Not the other way around.

Imagine reading a user agreement to your kid and telling them this is what they'll inherit someday. Right now, most of those agreements say the opposite — that they'll belong to the platform. We're here to change that.

I read these agreements and I imagine reading them to my son. Telling him this is what he'll inherit. But that's not what they say. They say he'll become theirs.

Technology is not supposed
to inherit people.

People — our generations — should inherit the technology. Because it's useful. Because it's beneficial. Because it was built to serve, not to own.

That's why we score. That's why we publish. That's why we start with ourselves.
