Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about Grounds Up
What is Grounds Up?
Grounds Up is a meeting tool that helps teams work in a structured and focused way. Instead of a rigid agenda, you collect topics together, prioritize them through voting, and discuss them in timeboxes. This creates clear decisions without moderation overhead.
Do I need to register?
No. You can create a room immediately and invite your team via link. No email verification, no waiting time, no hassle.
How does voting work?
After all topics have been collected, the team votes on which points are most important. Topics with the most votes are discussed first. This ensures that time is invested where it has the most impact.
What does timeboxing mean?
Each topic gets a fixed time slot. This keeps discussions focused and prevents individual points from dominating the entire meeting. In the end, you have clear results instead of endless debates.
Is Grounds Up free?
Yes, completely. There are no hidden costs, no per-user limits, and no premium features behind a paywall. You can use Grounds Up without restrictions.
How secure is my data?
Very secure. Grounds Up operates according to ISO/IEC 27001 principles and is GDPR compliant. All rooms are temporary and automatically deleted. We only store what's necessary and don't share any data.
Can I export meeting minutes?
Yes. After each meeting, you can export the results – including discussed topics, decisions, and time statistics. This keeps everyone on the same page.
Does Grounds Up work remotely?
Absolutely. Grounds Up is web-based and works on any device with a browser. Perfect for distributed teams, hybrid meetings, or pure remote collaboration.
What's the difference from other meeting tools?
Most tools force you into rigid structures or overload you with features. Grounds Up gives you exactly the structure you need – no more, no less. No preparation, no complexity, just focused collaboration.
Do I need a moderator?
Not necessarily. The system guides you through the process: collect topics, vote, discuss. The structure takes over the moderation. If you still want support, we offer professional meeting mentoring.
