Conrad Shaw is a researcher, producer, writer, and activist in the Universal Basic Income (UBI) space. A mechanical engineer turned filmmaker, in 2016 he launched into full-time UBI work when he teamed up with his now wife and partner Deia Schlosberg on a docuseries project called Bootstraps, for which he designed and managed the Bootstraps Basic Income Experiment - delivering basic incomes of $1K/month to 22 Americans across 10 states for 2.5 years - and field-produced for the film production side of the project. Conrad also created UBIcalculator.com as a tool for the movement, wrote a couple dozen essays on different facets of UBI, and in 2020 became a co-founder of Comingle (www.comingle.us), a startup company building a next gen mutual aid platform designed along basic income principles.
