That sounds awesome!
Any thought about the process of coming up with intervention ideas?
I think there is a huge gap between the backed researched interventions to the fact there is a lack of solutions and a lot of suffering.
It seems to me that we need to invent and test new solutions. Coming up with them is challenging :)
I suspect getting more people with diverse experiences/ideas interested in helping is a good approach. Then just let them do their thing.
I wrote a short piece here basically trying to argue EA should do more to diversify its skillpool as others have ‘unseen data’ that could help tackle important problems: https://forum.effectivealtruism.org/posts/MpYPCq9dW8wovYpRY/ea-undervalues-unseen-data .
tl;dr: I think more people == more data && more data == better ideas.
