This is more or less what happened with EA Ventures—lots of people thought it was a good idea, but not many promising projects showed up and not many funders actually donated to the projects we happened to find.
It seems like the character of the EA movement needs to be improved somehow, (probably, as always, there are marginal improvements to the implementation too) but especially the character of the movement because arguably if EA could spawn many projects, its impact would be increased many-fold.
