American Innovation & Prosperity Endowment
Every American as an Owner of Innovation
The Problem with Current R&D
The federal government invests $200+ billion annually in research that creates trillion-dollar companies. Citizens who fund this research through taxes receive no ownership stake in the resulting wealth. Meanwhile, private investors who take no research risk capture most of the returns.
How AIPE Works
AIPE takes 2-10% equity stakes in companies that commercialize federally funded research through Public-Private Accelerator (PPA) agreements. Returns flow to Citizen Prosperity Accounts, giving every American direct ownership in the innovation they funded. This is not nationalization—it's ownership through investment.
The Wealth Creation Ecosystem
Productivity Tax → Government investment in growth industries → AIPE acquires equity via PPAs → Endowment returns → Citizen Prosperity Accounts → Supplements Social Security + Lifetime Savings Accounts → Citizens accumulate wealth from birth through retirement.
"The same innovation that built the world's greatest companies should now strengthen the world's greatest nation."
