Why we do this
We are a group of young people who believe that sexual safety is a fundamental right. Not something you think about afterwards, but something that is clear beforehand. That's why we're building Blurline.
Our story
It started with a simple observation: too many young people have no idea how to make consent discussable. Gray areas lead to unsafe situations, miscommunication, and sometimes worse. Existing solutions are scarce , and when they exist, they don't reach young people.
We saw an opportunity to combine technology and education. Not to make profit, but to make impact. That's why Blurline was set up as a foundation: everything we do is focused on the public interest.
We've spoken with municipalities, schools, experts, and young people themselves. The conclusion was unanimous: there is an urgent need for practical tools and awareness around consent. That's what we work on every day.
Safety first
Every decision we make starts with the question: does this make young people safer?
Awareness
We believe that education and openness are the first step towards change.
Technology as a tool
Privacy-first technology that makes consent clear and verifiable.
Why Blurline?
The name Blurline stands for 'blurred line', the vague boundary. When consent is not clearly expressed, a gray area emerges, a line that blurs. Nobody knows exactly where that boundary lies. Blurline exists to make that line sharp. We replace ambiguity with clarity, so there is no more room for doubt.
Why no AI?
Many companies use AI as a buzzword to grab attention. We don't. Blurline handles the most personal data there is, and AI has no place in that. We are not against artificial intelligence, but we simply find it irresponsible to add it to a product built on trust, privacy, and personal boundaries.
AI can do a lot of good, but not here. At Blurline we consciously choose cryptography, transparency, and human control. No black boxes, no predictive models, no automated decisions about your consent.
We comply with all applicable legislation at all times: GDPR, the NIS2 directive, the Cyber Resilience Act, and future regulations. That's not a checkbox for us, it's a principle. Your data is not analyzed by algorithms, not used to train models, and not shared with third parties.
What we do differently
Blurline is designed based on what demonstrably works and consciously avoids what demonstrably doesn't.
Traditional approach

Why a foundation?
Blurline is and will always remain a foundation. We do not pursue profit and never intend to. No investors, no shareholders, no commercial interests. We want our tools to be free and accessible to everyone. A foundation guarantees that every euro goes towards our goal: a safer society. We are deliberately not a company or startup, we exist for the community.
“We want boys and girls to interact safely. We want our children and their children to never appear in the statistics again. That's not the goal of a year, that's the work of a generation.”
What do we need?
To make our mission a reality, we need support in several areas.
Financial support
Donations and subsidies to keep tools free and fund workshops.
Partners
Municipalities, public health services, and institutions to help implement in their region.
Participating schools
Secondary schools and vocational institutions that want to offer our workshops to students.
Volunteers
Workshop facilitators, content creators, developers, and ambassadors who want to contribute.
Visibility
People who share our story and increase awareness in their network.
Our team
We are a small, driven team of founders, developers, and education experts. Supplemented by volunteers and advisors from the fields of sexual health, youth work, and technology.
Our vision
We want a Netherlands where our children and their children never end up in the statistics of sexually transgressive behavior. You don't achieve that in a year. Making consent mainstream and normalizing it is a generational project. That's why we build lasting partnerships with schools, municipalities, donors, and the government. We are here for the long term.
