Learn more about Ubiquitus.

My name is Ryan Frigo. I’m a developer, musician, entrepreneur, and artist. I graduated from UC Berkeley, where I majored in Data Science with a focus on Social Welfare, Health, and Poverty. Growing up in Oakland, California, I observed the harsh realities of economic disparity, leading me to question our current economic system and explore solutions that support and empower individuals while maintaining individual freedoms.

Universal Basic Income (UBI) stands out as a transformative approach. Beyond reducing poverty, UBI offers several benefits:

  • Economic Stability: It provides a financial safety net, enhancing economic resilience.
  • Entrepreneurship and Innovation: People are more likely to start their own businesses because the risk of financial ruin is reduced.
  • Enhanced Education and Skills: By ensuring basic financial security, UBI encourages individuals to pursue further education and training.
  • Health Improvements: Financial security reduces stress, leading to better health outcomes.
  • Empowerment in the Labor Market: With UBI, workers have a safety net, allowing them to negotiate better work conditions.

Studies show that UBI recipients often use this support to engage in valuable activities like education, caregiving, or community service, without significantly reducing their work hours. In a world facing complex challenges, this foundation of security is crucial for fostering innovation and resilience.

Ubiquitus embodies this vision by enabling a sustainable model for UBI that is rooted in the economic value we collectively generate. This is achieved by investing in public companies and equally distributing 0.5% of the fund value every month. This model ensures that everyone can benefit from our collective growth, paving the way for a society where security and opportunity go hand in hand.

As Ubiquitus increases its ownership in various companies, we will democratize the shareholder voting power so that individuals can have an economic voice, serving as a powerful counterweight to a sole focus on profit.

Join us in building a future where economic security is the baseline. Your contribution to Ubiquitus is more than financial; it's a step towards a more equitable and innovative world.
