Q. Francesco, Sblind was born as a sustainable social network but also as a community. Where did this intuition come from?
A. The idea was born from the desire to overcome the limitations of traditional social networks: we wanted to build not just a technological platform, but a space for authentic sharing, based on shared values and an ethical and sustainable model.
Q. How is the community an integral part of the Sblind model, compared to traditional social networks?
A. In Sblind, the community is the beating heart: it doesn’t exist as a sideline, but as a core value. It is the basis for stimulating constructive dialogue, real exchanges, and projects that have a positive impact.
Q. You have partners like WWF and Dynamo Camp. How important is it for you to have communities that go beyond the online world and create concrete impacts on the local community?
A. It’s very important, because it allows us to demonstrate that digital and real are not separate. Partnerships strengthen our vision: building relationships that have practical implications for the environment and for people.
Q. Why do people today feel the need to be part of communities rather than just social platforms?
A. Because we no longer seek just entertainment, but belonging. Communities provide meaning, they allow us to recognize ourselves in others and work together towards common goals.
Q. What is the long-term vision: what kind of community do you envision building with Sblind?
A. A global community that is sustainable, inclusive, and capable of demonstrating that technology can truly serve people. We’re not aiming for the quantity, but the quality of the connections we’ll be able to generate.
