One other cause-enabler I’d love to see more research on is donating to (presumably early stage) for-profits. For all that they have better incentives it’s still a very noisy space with plenty of remaining perverse incentives, so supporting those doing worse than they merit seems like it could be high value.
It might be possible to team up with some VCs on this, to see if any of them have a category of companies they like but won’t invest in; perhaps because of a surprising lack of traction; or perhaps because of predatory pricing by companies with worse products/ethics; perhaps some other unmerited headwind.
