Economic growth
that lifts everyone.
Ubiquitus is a common pool delivering an unconditional monthly floor today — funded by people who believe the gains from automation should be shared.
Why a monthly floor?
Automation is projected to accelerate significantly by 2030. As it transforms jobs, we need new models to ensure the value gets shared — not just captured by a handful of companies and their shareholders. A monthly floor is the simplest mechanism to do that.
The evidence is already in.
In the New Leaf Project (PNAS, 2023), one $7,500 transfer bought each recipient 99 fewer nights homeless, and saved more in shelter costs than it cost to administer. In Stockton (SEED, 2021), full-time employment among recipients rose 12 points against 5 in the control group. The honest counterweight: OpenResearch's larger 2024 study found recipients worked about 1.3 fewer hours a week. Cash buys people room to choose; it doesn't make them work more.
Growing up in Oakland, I watched extreme wealth inequality play out one block at a time. While studying Data Science at UC Berkeley with a focus on Social Welfare, Health, and Poverty, I became convinced that our economic system is structurally broken.
Traditional welfare creates dependency. Pure capitalism concentrates wealth among asset owners. There is a third path: a small, transparent floor, funded by the people who want to see it exist.
Watching automation compound made the timing urgent. It will create massive wealth and displace millions of jobs — simultaneously. Instead of leaving that distribution to the companies capturing the value, we pool resources and share in the growth equally.
That's Ubiquitus — a small, unconditional floor for everyone, regardless of what they put in.
How Ubiquitus works.
Community-powered
One-way gifts build a shared pool, invested to sustain the floor. It is a concentrated portfolio, weighted toward the companies building automation.
Built to last
A draw small enough that the pool can outlive us all — every holding, every payout, published on the dashboard.
Equal monthly payments
6% of pool value per year, distributed monthly on the 1st and split equally across every verified member.
Real pilots. Real outcomes.
