I obviously agree with this post given that we’ve already talked about it :-). Three notes:
1) I’m uncomfortable with the idea that introducing people to EA is well funded. First, relative to the size of the opportunity here, I the amount of funding is minuscule. Second, we have yet to find a massively scalable approach to finding new EAs. Until we have that, we’re not going to achieve true hockey stick style massive growth
2) A project applied to EA Ventures with an idea to work on solving this problem :-). Still working them through the evaluation process, so I can’t say much now. More info may be available in the near future.
3) I think effectivealtruism.org is the natural home for projects in this domain. I’d love to work with you (or anyone else) on developing and testing out ways to get people that sign up there plugged into the community.
