Ex-Coatue GP proposes $1,000–$5,000 index 'Innovation Accounts' for AI-displaced workers

Investor-economist Sarah Cannon (ex-Coatue GP, former NEC adviser) proposes "Innovation Accounts" in Fortune: seed adults most exposed to AI job displacement with $1,000–$5,000 in tech-index investments, modeled on Trump Accounts. $5,000 in the Nasdaq-100 a decade ago would have gained over $28,000 — capital to retrain or start a business. She argues philanthropy could seed accounts now without adding to the deficit, noting tech hedge funds returned 27% on average in H1 2026 while most Americans own none of that upside.
