About — Social Capital Stockholm

# About Social Capital Stockholm

Social Capital Stockholm (SC_S) is a public-minded initiative in formation, collaborating with cities, universities, and aligned partners to build trust-first coordination infrastructure for real life in the AI age.

Status: research + convening + pilots. SC_S is not a VC fund and not a public authority.

## Mission
Build the future we want to live in. Industry 5.0 is ushering in a new era of human-centric innovation where technology serves as an enabler of meaningful experiences, creativity, and social connection rather than just efficiency and automation.

## Founder
Founded by Soheill Deriss — creative leader turned entrepreneur and researcher, with a background in creative storytelling, brand innovation, and business leadership across retail, production, and strategy-driven ventures.

## Non-negotiables
- Human agency first — technology should amplify, not replace, human decision-making.
- Privacy by design — no surveillance capitalism.
- Public learning — we share what we learn openly.
- Stockholm-rooted, Europe-minded — local pilots, continental vision.

## Roadmap
- Now: Pilot Studio (6–12 week sprints) co-designing Industry 5.0 pilots with cities, brands, and universities.
- Next: Invite-only partner roundtables (exploratory).
- Later: Potential capital pathways (SPVs / fund) only after a pilot track record exists.

## Disclosures
