❓ Frequently Asked Questions

​

1. What is The Simple Platform (TSP)?
The Simple Platform is a curated knowledge and innovation hub that connects researchers, innovators, and investors around structured themes, called “verticals.” Each vertical is moderated by a Vertical Editor (VE) who organizes high-quality content, builds community, and identifies emerging opportunities. It’s where big ideas grow roots and connect with the right people to thrive.

​

2. Who is TSP for?
TSP is designed for researchers, academics, early-stage innovators, and investors. It also serves innovation hubs, incubators, and universities looking to provide value to their communities. Whether you're curating research, showcasing innovation, or seeking the right audience for your projects, TSP gives you tools to structure knowledge and visibility in one place.

​

3. What makes TSP different from other platforms?
Unlike typical content or research platforms, TSP is invitation-only and vertical-driven. This structure ensures high quality and alignment within each topic. Vertical Editors have editorial control, can feature relevant members, and build a dedicated community. The invitation model helps maintain relevance and gives VEs the ability to shape their vertical’s identity and purpose.

​

4. What’s in it for a Vertical Editor?
Vertical Editors are thought leaders. TSP gives them the tools to structure knowledge, attract talent, and build visibility around specific themes. VEs can invite collaborators, feature content, and even attract investors into their space. Over time, they become trusted curators of niche ecosystems, gaining influence, network, and early access to emerging projects and talent.

​

5. What are the benefits for our institution or hub if we become a TSP partner?
You gain visibility as a “Featured Partner” on an emerging global platform. Your members: students, researchers, or entrepreneurs, can launch and grow their own verticals under your guidance. You position your organization as a modern innovator, while we provide the digital tools and support to drive engagement, visibility, and potential funding.

​

6. What can we offer to our community through this partnership?
You can offer your members a path to publish, collaborate, and grow their projects in curated verticals. TSP provides training, onboarding, and a waitlist system for joining verticals. Your institution becomes an active node in the global innovation network, with access to exclusive workshops, office hours, and potential investor attention.

​

7. Can anyone join a vertical?
Not quite. TSP is an invitation-only space. Vertical Editors can choose who they accept into their verticals. This ensures each community remains focused, high-quality, and aligned. It’s not about gatekeeping, it’s about making sure people land in the right room with the right context and shared intent.

​

8. Do we need to create demo verticals first?
Ideally, yes. Having 2–3 demo verticals helps show how the platform works and gives potential partners, researchers, or investors something to interact with. We can help you co-create these with your top researchers or innovation leaders as a starting point.

​

9. How do you support Vertical Editors and partners?
We provide an onboarding guide, a simple landing page builder, community templates, and support from our team, including regular “Open Hours” for guidance. We’re also building a library of best practices and examples to help VEs get started fast.

​

10. Is this free? What’s the cost?
TSP is currently free for early partners, researchers, and editors. As we grow, premium features or models may be introduced, but core academic and research publishing tools will remain free. For institutions, we’re open to customized partnership models based on mutual goals, including co-branded programs, events, and shared visibility.
