About
What is Upvera?
Upvera is a progress platform where startup founders and independent builders share what they build every day. The work is read from the sources they connect (GitHub, the App Store, Vercel, npm), the community responds with Prime and Pass, and Ranks orders startups by the work done. The point is to make the building process visible, not just the outcome.

How it works
- 01
Add your startup
Its name, what it does and its links live on one page. Every startup on Upvera gets a public page.
- 02
Share a line every day
You write what you did in a few words. If GitHub, the App Store, Vercel or npm is connected, your pushes and releases are added to your days on their own.
- 03
The community weighs in
Readers respond to a post with Prime or Pass. The Prism algorithm orders Discover around each person's interests.
- 04
The work becomes value
Posting rhythm, verified proof and the community's wings meet in one value on Ranks. Visibility can't be bought on any plan.
Upvera's terms
What the names you see in the app and on this site mean.
- Post
- A short update in which a founder says what they did that day. It belongs to a startup and appears in the Feed.
- Prime
- A reader's positive response to a post: "this interests me, lift it". It exists to lift progress rather than polish.
- Pass
- The opposite of Prime: "not for me". It helps Discover learn what not to show you.
- Prism
- The recommendation algorithm that orders the Discover feed. It learns from your Primes and Passes, who you follow and your interests.
- Proof link
- An outside source connected to a startup: a GitHub repository, an App Store listing, a Vercel project or an npm package. The information is read from the source, not typed in.
- Ownership verification
- Proof that a connected source really belongs to the startup, done with a file on its domain or by installing a GitHub App.
- Sealed day
- A day's posts and source events are written to an append-only ledger and the day is sealed. Daily roots are published in a public repository, and anyone can check them in the browser at upvera.co/dogrula.
- Ranks
- The list that orders startups by the work done. The order comes from Upvera Value.
- Upvera Value
- A reading of a startup's verified work, computed by Upvera and unitless. It is not a price and not what a company is worth.
- UPV
- Credit that only works inside Upvera. It can't be cashed out and isn't transferred between users.
- Wing
- A user standing behind a startup they believe in with UPV. A wing is not an investment, and no money goes to the startup.
- Upi
- Upvera's AI assistant. It helps you pull your day together, write your post and understand where your startup stands.
