# About AP0110 **We build technology you own — and answer for it.** AP0110 is an independent technology company, born at the University of California. We build sovereign systems and open standards — so you answer to no vendor. ## Our roots — from the University of California Our founders met as engineers at UC Riverside and built AP0110 through the University's programs — Berkeley SkyDeck, UC LAUNCH. The University of California isn't a credential we borrow. It's where we're from. ## Why "AP0110" Apollo, the Olympian, stood for clarity, light, reason, and order. That is the ethos NASA named its Moon program for — and the one we took our name from. Those missions were engineered under unforgiving constraints — for resilience and reliability, to do what was thought impossible. That discipline is the inheritance we care about most: systems built to hold up, not just to demo. So we take on the hard thing — an independent internet you actually own — and engineer it to survive: resilient, decentralized, with no central point to fail or be seized. The same clarity and reason guide how we build AI — illumination in your service, not another black box. The name even reads as an *access point*: a gateway to that independent internet, [Web 4.0](https://ap0110.com/web4). ## Open source — we build in the open Our work ships to a public GitHub (AP0110-Systems) and advances the open standards of the [Independent Internet](https://ap0110.com/web4) (Web 4.0) and the agent-readable web. What we build is yours — source included, no black boxes, no lock-in. ## Why we exist — the web was given away The internet's pioneers gave their work away — it was meant to belong to everyone, before it got rented back to you by the month. We build it back: privacy, sovereignty, and resilience as defaults, never premium add-ons. ## What we stand for - **Own your stack** — the infrastructure you run on is yours, on-premises or at the edge, no hyperscaler required. - **Own your data** — air-gapped by default, minimal collection, explicit consent; it never leaves without you. - **Own your network** — decentralized and resilient, mesh-capable, surveillance-free, no central point to fail or seize. - **Own your future** — open standards and a clean hand-off mean no vendor lock-in. Ever. ## Why it holds up Security backed by in-house ISO/IEC 27001 lead-audit capability. Standards work alongside the UN and the University of California. Systems delivered at state scale and in the field. - **ISO 27001** — Lead-audit capability. - **Open source** — public GitHub, open standards. - **UC-born** — roots at the University of California. ## Build it to be yours Tell us what you're building. We engineer it to standards and hand it over clean — no lock-in. Ever:
