I recently took the Giving What We Can pledge and have been helping out a bit with my local EA chapter and I’ve been reflecting on some ideas for doing more good. One idea I was hoping to get feedback on is the idea of an EA Venture Fund that was structured as a nonprofit where we would invest into high impact companies and founders that could provide an eventual return and take those returns for high impact causes—our investors ideally would also commit a large portion of their profits to high impact charities.

Hi Everyone,
I recently took the Giving What We Can pledge and have been helping out a bit with my local EA chapter and I’ve been reflecting on some ideas for doing more good. One idea I was hoping to get feedback on is the idea of an EA Venture Fund that was structured as a nonprofit where we would invest into high impact companies and founders that could provide an eventual return and take those returns for high impact causes—our investors ideally would also commit a large portion of their profits to high impact charities.
I’ve linked a quick presentation I made about the idea and would love feedback on it https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1jo6DYP3E-Q1fI8SIyFrLGWNssEmnsG1A4Zg2ckMDysE/edit?usp=sharing
