Last week, two of the Manna co-founders, Eric Stetson and Brandon Venetta, were in New York for a blockchain conference.  It was during this visit to the Big Apple that they were able to have a meeting with Andrew Yang.

Andrew Yang is an entrepreneur, author, founder of Venture For America, and, the latest, 2020 Presidential candidate.  

Yang is a huge supporter of Universal Basic Income having started a number of philanthropic organizations.

We will have more information on the meeting in the coming week.

Yesterday, Andrew Yang put up a quick post about the Manna Team along with the picture above.

We feel this was an important contact to made since he is spreading the message of Universal Basic Income.  Since we are a non-profit entity, we have no opinion on his politics nor his campaign.  What we do support is the bringing the concept of Universal Basic Income to the national stage for discussion.
