Jobs Foundation of California

The JFC runs competitions that produce public works and start-ups that transform markets.

Projects

  • Dog sled team under Northern Lights on snowy terrain.

    Housing for Capable Families

    For millions of years, we belonged to clans having a score of adults and their kids. JFC renews this timeless family structure with big homes for functional, diverse, multi-generational families. JFC creates exciting live-work spaces to build relationships in dynamic rent-to-own situations. JFC’s capital management firm, ME, develops the real estate.

  • A black and white Border Collie dog with tongue out against a dark background.

    Moving Bodies

    Cars are going autonomous, becoming safer, and getting more efficient. JFC’s competitions leap forward with machines to electrify the highways, lay down a steel rail for dual-mode electric cars, establish standards for coupling and electronic stability control for roadtrain cars, and run a competition for engineers wanting to be first-to-market.

  • Two shaggy-haired dogs sitting in the back of a convertible with a man in a hat driving, set against a cloudy sky.

    Riding Together to Build Trust

    JFC is developing 42, a hitchhiking app. HOV lanes and empty seats want riders. By registering riders too, JFC will make hitchhiking safe, safer than ever.

    The app will also provide better signalling that prevents T-bone crashes at intersections, and majorly clear up congestion in others ways too.

  • Golden retriever with tongue out, black background.

    Moving Minds

    To limit censorship, JFC is working with the Open Source community to create apps that serve content from our own devices. To get on the same page and make good and principled policies, we also ensure that disputes cannot be hidden.

Technology is the best indicator of development, and the most reliable way to advance humanity.
