CLEAN, INC is an early-stage company planned as a future spinout from SASAL. The company is developing a vision for a platform that supports more transparent, participatory, and effective approaches to public infrastructure improvement. Its initial focus is expected to be the United States, with a longer-term ambition to support communities and partners in multiple countries.
Public infrastructure is the foundation of safe, functional, and connected communities. Roads, public buildings, transit facilities, pedestrian routes, water systems, and community spaces all require ongoing maintenance and renewal. Yet decisions about repair and investment can be complicated by fragmented information, limited visibility, competing priorities, budget constraints, and a lack of accessible channels for constructive public participation. CLEAN, INC intends to help address these challenges by bringing local observations, technical knowledge, institutional processes, and private-sector support into a more coordinated digital environment.
The company’s approach is rooted in democratic participation. Residents and local stakeholders should have meaningful ways to raise concerns, understand priorities, and follow the status of improvement efforts. At the same time, infrastructure decisions must be guided by qualified expertise, public accountability, regulatory requirements, and fair procurement practices. CLEAN, INC will therefore be designed to facilitate informed engagement rather than bypassing responsible public institutions.
As a planned SASAL spinout, CLEAN, INC will begin in the concept-development stage and refine its mission through stakeholder research, pilot projects, and responsible partnerships. The company will aim to build a diverse ecosystem of civic groups, municipalities, engineers, construction professionals, businesses, researchers, and residents. By combining technology with transparency and community participation, CLEAN, INC seeks to help transform infrastructure concerns into practical, collaborative, and publicly accountable opportunities for improvement.

CLEAN, INC is a civic infrastructure platform designed to help people identify and advance opportunities to repair, renew, and improve public facilities. In many communities, residents can see deteriorating roads, damaged sidewalks, aging buildings, unsafe public spaces, or undermaintained shared facilities. However, they may not know where to report an issue, whether others have raised the same concern, which organization is responsible, or how to participate constructively in the improvement process. CLEAN, INC aims to make this process clearer and more accessible.
The platform will allow users to submit location-based reports, photographs, descriptions, and observations regarding infrastructure conditions. Reports may be categorized by topic, urgency, location, and potential impact. Community members will be able to view issues in their area, contribute additional information, express support for improvement priorities, and receive updates when a proposal is reviewed or progresses. The service will provide clear public-facing information while respecting privacy, safety, and applicable local regulations.
For public institutions and professional partners, CLEAN, INC will offer dashboard tools that help organize incoming reports, identify recurring patterns, communicate with stakeholders, and coordinate review processes. Municipalities and community organizations may use the platform to improve public engagement. Engineering and construction partners may contribute technical input when appropriate. Private-sector organizations may support projects through sponsorship, expertise, or community-investment programs, subject to transparent rules and conflict-of-interest safeguards.
CLEAN, INC will not independently determine whether a facility is safe or authorize construction work. Technical evaluations, legal decisions, budgeting, procurement, and public approvals will remain with the relevant qualified professionals and authorities. Instead, the platform will serve as an organizing and communication layer that helps people turn local concerns into informed, democratic, and actionable conversations about infrastructure renewal.

CLEAN, INC’s long-term plan is to build a trusted civic technology platform that helps communities identify, prioritize, and advance improvements to public infrastructure. Roads, bridges, public buildings, parks, water-related facilities, sidewalks, and other shared assets are essential to daily life, yet repair needs are often difficult to report, evaluate, communicate, and address in a transparent way. CLEAN, INC aims to create a practical link between residents, community organizations, private-sector partners, technical specialists, and public institutions.
During its initial phase, the company will focus on researching infrastructure challenges in selected markets and developing a clear, secure, easy-to-use reporting and prioritization platform. Users will be able to identify locations that may require maintenance, submit observations and supporting information, and follow the progress of proposed improvement initiatives. The company will establish verification processes to distinguish urgent issues, long-term maintenance needs, and ideas that require further professional assessment.
In the medium term, CLEAN, INC will build partnerships with municipalities, engineering firms, construction companies, insurers, property owners, nonprofit organizations, universities, and corporate sponsors. These partnerships will enable the platform to combine local knowledge with technical expertise and available resources. The company may generate revenue through enterprise software subscriptions, data and workflow tools, implementation services, sponsored community programs, and partnerships that support approved public-interest projects.
Over the long term, CLEAN, INC seeks to become a global platform for participatory infrastructure renewal. Its goal is not to replace public decision-making, but to make it more visible, informed, inclusive, and responsive. As a planned SASAL spinout, the company will pursue disciplined growth, responsible governance, privacy protection, and measurable social impact. Success will be evaluated through platform trust, stakeholder participation, projects advanced, maintenance delays reduced, and improvements in the quality and resilience of shared public spaces.
