I think it would be cool if someone scraped linkedin and made some sort of diagram of talent flows like this. I imagine it could be done in a weekend and might yield interesting results.
Nice! My guess is that the most immediate way this data could be useful is that organizations who get funding on the basis of a “meta” theory of change (e.g. funding by OP, EAIF, MCF) get more/less funding because it turns out they are doing more/less to bring people in than expected. So maybe I would start with organizations funded by those groups, along with some other class of organizations to use as a control.
If you’re looking for the meta organisations Ben is talking about, you can see all of the city and national groups funded by the Centre for Effective Altruism’s Community Building Grants programme under the ‘Groups’ tab on this page. This is probably one of the bigger groupings of meta organisations (in terms of longterm stable funding). You also check Marieke’s mindmap for a bunch of other meta organisations.

LinkedIn has made automated scraping against their ToS, so anyone attempting this should be aware that their account may get banned
I might do this. What organizations would you be most interested in seeing this for?

Sorry for demanding the spoon-feeding, but where do I find a list of such organizations?
OP Grantees
EA Funds
I don’t think MCF has a database (maybe @Joey 🔸 knows?) but this post and this post list their grants
I found the overview in this post useful: https://forum.effectivealtruism.org/posts/xGqpQKf2FpjvwJe6q/ea-meta-funding-landscape-report
