At the moment the main difference is that we are focused on EA projects exclusively, either coming from EA Orgs or related to infrastructure.
A couple more differences: - The model of this organizations is rather fixed with a very strong focus on being the middle man between projects and volunteers. We would like to experiment with new approaches as mentioned under “Possible directions for the future” - Some of these organizations tend to have also a big focus on learning, meaning including participants in their teams that are not very experienced and also taking projects that are not very impactful but fit very well the skills of some of their volunteers. Atm we aim to have a much stronger focus on impact and less on teaching people how to do data science.
