Yes? I agree with Shakeel that chatting to orgs already doing adjacent work seems good. But also, I’d encourage you to try setting up some sort of prototype website and reaching out to a small handful of foundations to see what the interest is like. You could either ask them for feedback on the website/plans, or just try to find an initial foundation or two to start work with.
I’d avoid prominent EA branding, jargon etc to minimise downside risk to the community.
Yes? If you have a bit of runway/flexibility, then it might be worth doing some of the above steps first so you have some indication of whether it will work. (Although it can take weeks/months from application to having funding offered/rejected.)
I probably wouldn’t work full time on it myself, but would be happy to chat a bit more about it if that seems helpful.
