Build Your Own Innovation Vertical

Join the Beta as a Founding Vertical Editor on The Simple Platform - España

Be part of the first wave of creators shaping the future of knowledge and innovation. The Simple Platform (TSP) is opening its doors to a small group of early pioneers—people like you who care about ideas, research, innovation, and community. As a founding Vertical Editor, you’ll get access to our private beta and everything you need to launch your own curated “vertical.”

Young Volunteers

How it works?

Step 1:
Create a Framework

Define a unique perspective on your field. Whether it’s a niche methodology, a groundbreaking research approach, or an emerging problem, position yourself as the leader of the conversation.

Step 2:
Gather Key Players

Invite influential researchers, industry experts, and funders into your space. Just like at a conference, they benefit from exposure—but instead of a one-time event, they join your ongoing ecosystem.

Step 3:
Exchange Value

Give your network something they can’t find anywhere else: hand-vetted research, private discussions, high-impact collaborations. In return, they contribute their insights and promote your work.

Step 4:
Amplify Your Influence

Your vertical becomes the go-to space for cutting-edge research, career opportunities, and high-level discussions. You gain visibility, authority, and funding — without constantly chasing citations or event invites.

Who Is This For?

  • Researchers, PhDs, or innovators working at the edge of new ideas

  • Professionals leading a niche, theme, or emerging topic

  • Educators, consultants, or thinkers with a small but focused community (even if it's just your LinkedIn feed for now)

  • People who are tired of platforms that bury knowledge under noise and want to build something meaningful

The Problem We Solve

Right now, most knowledge lives in silos—disconnected posts, PDFs, newsletters, and slides.
If you're leading a community or theme, chances are you're:

  • Burning time organizing scattered resources

  • Struggling to keep your audience engaged across tools

  • Missing chances to connect your people with each other, or with investors/funders

  • Looking for ways to build thought leadership without becoming a content creator

You don't need another feed. You need a structure.

What is a Vertical?

A Vertical on TSP is your home base for a topic you care about.
You curate resources, onboard new members (manually or with our waitlist system), share context, and shape the conversation. Think of it as:

  • A living knowledge hub

  • A private community

  • A research showcase

  • A magnet for smart people and future collaborators

You can build it solo, or invite your peers. You choose who joins, and how visible it is.

What You’ll Get as a Beta Vertical Editor

  • Priority onboarding with our team — we’ll help you design and launch your vertical

  • Community scaffolding: templates, landing pages, and onboarding flows

  • Guidance & support: video training + regular “Open Hours” for questions

  • Visibility as an early Featured Vertical

  • Direct feedback loop with the core team shaping the product

  • Early access to monetization tools (coming soon)

This is not a self-serve tool dump. It’s a co-building experience with people who care about your success.

Your Transformation as a Vertical Editor

Before TSP:
You’ve got deep expertise but no central place to shape your narrative. Your ideas are split between folders, docs, and social media. Your network is scattered.

With TSP:
You’re leading a curated knowledge ecosystem. You own the context. You attract people who care. You’re building long-term trust and visibility, and opening doors to collaboration, funding, and leadership.

What You Need to Get Started

  • A theme or topic you care about

  • A rough idea of 3–5 people who might benefit from joining

  • Basic energy to experiment and shape something new

A pre-built community content base helps, but it’s not required.
We’ll help you invite your first members, craft your vertical’s identity, and guide you through setup.

Why The Simple Platform?

  • Because the future of a community is curated, structured, and purposeful, not noisy and endless.

  • No ads.

  • No algorithm.

  • No burnout.

  • Just you, your topic, your people, and the tools to grow something valuable together.
