Build Your Own Society

An independent initiative for exploring the societies of the future.

byos.one – Build Your Own Society is an independent, founder-led initiative created to give people a practical way to explore, design and compare ideas for the societies they want to live in.

Founded by George Salatic and developed over several years with technical and other support, byos.one is built around a simple principle: no single person, culture, country or political system has all the answers.

Our ambition is to develop a global tool for citizens, students, educators and institutions across different countries and societal systems — helping people see cultural, ideological and regional differences not only as challenges, but also as opportunities to learn from one another.

Those differences are not something we want to eliminate. They may contain knowledge, experience and solutions that others simply do not possess. byos.one therefore seeks common ground for understanding and respect without asking anyone to abandon their identity or perspective.

The platform is independent and does not promote a particular political ideology or model of society. Transparency, trust, public responsibility and the ability of institutions and societies to anticipate and adapt to change are central to the idea behind byos.one.

How is byos.one organized?

At present, byos.one is an independent, founder-led initiative rather than an established nonprofit organization or a conventional for-profit company.

Its mission is strongly public-interest oriented, but the project must also be economically sustainable in order to remain independent, continue developing and operate over the long term.

Our intention is that access for individual citizens remains free. Future income may come from institutional or professional uses, partnerships or related services and help finance the continued development and operation of byos.one.

The organizational model will evolve as the initiative grows. What should not change is its purpose: to remain open to different perspectives, independent in its thinking and useful to people who want to explore better ways of living together.

After all, designing a society together may be the ultimate dispute-resolution exercise.
