For Employers
49 jobs.
Up to 25,000 customers.
Pledge jobs before the raise closes. Every steward who picked your brand in the pledge UI is a pre-committed customer before you open.
Captive talent pool
Every resident lives, works, and spends within one square mile. Zero commuter churn.
Max 49 jobs
ACA employer mandate threshold. 50 triggers federal health coverage requirements.
Chosen before you open
Pledgers pick you in the app. Every steward who did is a customer walking in the door on day one.
Outer wall slots
2 of 4 sides per URB reserved for employers. Purpose-built for office and production.
Better jobs, lower fee
Your job pledge fee scales inversely with the salaries you pledge. Pay people well and you pay URBAL less.
Annual re-competition
High-performing employers earn automatic renewal. Underperformers go to the ballot.
The job pledge
The better the jobs you bring, the less it costs you to bring them.
Businesses compete for commercial placement by pledging jobs. The entry fee on that pledge moves inversely with the salaries attached to it — higher salaries, lower fee. There is no negotiation and no discretion in it; the schedule is the same for everyone.
Inverse by design
A town is only as strong as what its residents earn. Pricing the pledge this way makes the incentive point the same direction as the town's interest.
100% to the town
Every dollar of pledge fee flows into that town or city's Sovereign Wealth Fund pool. None of it is URBAL's revenue.
Max 49 jobs
The ACA employer mandate threshold. Fifty would trigger federal health coverage requirements on top.
How it works for you
Two sides of the outer wall. One re-competition per year.
Purpose-built employer space. Annual steward vote determines who stays — only employers stewards want remain.
Max 49 jobs per slot
Purpose-built employer space on the outer wall. Annual steward vote determines who stays.
A customer before day one
Pledge before raise close and every steward who selected you is recorded on the immutable ledger as a committed customer — before you've hired a single employee.
Up to $12,000 per job
Every pledged job sweeps into the town's Sovereign Wealth Fund at raise certification, split equally across every unit.
