This is just based on what Stanford/Harvard organizers have said to me. It depends who you ask and how they define retention but 10% is the number I hear thrown around the most.
Thanks Rachel. If anyone else reading this has any more data on this point I’d be very interested. I’m helping with the first EA for Jews intro fellowship and we’re thinking about how to assess its impact. If 90-98% of people who do an intro fellowship never engage with EA again afterwards that seems quite strong grounds for rethinking whether we (as a community) should invest in intro fellowships as much as we seem to. And/or if we should experiment much more on different types of intros to see if there is greater impact.
