# Upvera

> Upvera is a progress platform where startup founders and independent builders share what they build every day, backed by verified proof. The work is read from the sources a founder connects (GitHub, the App Store, Vercel, npm), the community responds with Prime and Pass, the Prism algorithm personalizes Discover, and Ranks orders startups by the work done. Upvera is available on iPhone and on the web, in English and Turkish.

Key facts:

- Company: Upvera, founded in 2026 in Istanbul, Türkiye, by Tuna Akgün. Contact: destek@upvera.co.
- Platforms: iPhone app on the App Store (https://apps.apple.com/app/id6805657940, version 1.7.0, iOS 16.4 or later, live since September 6, 2026); web app at https://app.upvera.co with the same account. Android is not available yet.
- Price: free to start. Optional memberships: Build (US$14.99 a month or US$149.99 a year) and Scale (US$29.99 a month or US$299.99 a year), billed through the App Store. Visibility can't be bought on any plan and there are no ads.
- Upvera Value is 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 is credit that only works inside Upvera: it can't be cashed out and isn't transferred between users. Lending a wing (backing a startup with UPV) is not an investment and sends no money to the startup.
- Every day on Upvera is sealed into a daily root, published to the public repository https://github.com/upvera-co/ledger-roots with an OpenTimestamps proof, and anyone can check the chain in the browser at https://upvera.co/en/dogrula/.
