Great question. Our two main sources were targeted messages to potential candidates using LinkedIn searches; and 80k, which has such a big reach that it bought in a lot of people who wouldn’t consider themselves ‘part of EA’ (obviously you could argue that they are if they are on 80k’s newsletter, but I think that is a low bar).
We are also a bit unusual in having a Board almost entirely composed of people who are ‘EA adjacent but not core EA’, and so that helped to spread the word to people within their networks but still able to offer an outside view.
