Have you ever heard of an SBA loan? The difference here is that it becomes an grant, and has a exit gateway of demonstrating cashflow (or some other merit) to get to higher stages of funding.

When you look at numbers of new business starts - even with venture capital and the yc model becoming popular, the numbers are at a multi decade low. The people who our current system selects to take a risk with look far too uniform from far to homogeneous an outlook. This would be a way to setup a monkey throwing darts at random, but the non randomly pick up the next stage winners to position them for private investment. But with society reaping benefits of wins.

Yes, that’s what makes it basic income. What’s to prevent people from copy-pasting the same “local restaurant” business plan every year and just going “whoops, it failed”?
