Founding question — word by word
“Sustain” is the dimension of durability and sustainability. A marketplace must be able to last — economically, socially and environmentally — not just launch and fade.
This includes the broader meaning of sustainability captured by the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs): social fairness, ecological responsibility, and durable institutions. WikiDeal's model aims to be economically self-sustaining without advertising, speculation, or shareholder extraction.
