Vision Quest for Humanity
AI is accelerating. Communities are being left behind. Oncata is building the infrastructure that keeps human creativity, connection, and knowledge at the center.
The Problem
Companies will spend an estimated $2.67 trillion on AI this year. Very little of it reaches the people whose work is changing fastest — and the gap is already showing up in who uses AI, who gets hired, and who gets left out.
Lower-income adults who use AI, compared with upper-income adults. The AI gap is an income gap.
In declining occupations who may need to move into new jobs by 2030, depending on how fast AI is adopted.
Drop in entry-level employment from 2022 to 2025. The first rung of the ladder is disappearing.

What We’re Building
Oncata is a physical and digital platform connecting people for face-to-face work, learning, and community — starting in Milwaukee and expanding nationwide.
Connecting 3,000+ creatives, makers, and professionals with in-person work across the Midwest. Authentic talent, real stories, direct connections.
In-person workshops where community members teach and learn face-to-face. AI literacy, traditional crafts, creative arts — skills no machine can replace.
Affordable workspace with cooperative childcare — parents rotate supervision so everyone can work. $25 per session vs. $50–100 for traditional childcare.
