(If you apply, make sure your “grant application in a tweet” answer is strong, as that’s the most important part of the application. Also I’m happy to take a look at a draft of your application if that’d be helpful; you can reach me at the email given here.)
Whether or not you go this route, you might also want to talk to Lama, a rationalist-adjacent Saudi student who was in the last Emergent Ventures cohort. She might be able to give you some advice and connect you to any existing Saudi community. You can find her at https://lamaalrajih.com
Definitely apply to Tyler Cowen’s Emergent Ventures: https://www.mercatus.org/emergentventures
