how will go about finding high-impact projects (I think you mentioned to me that you have some in mind already, but do you have a method for generating a sustainable flow of projects or is there a risk that you might run out soon?)
Our KPI is quality-adjusted money moved. So we not only need a good fundraising ratio but also keep the research quality very high (our first campaign is backed up by ~17k words of analysis). We already have some research on climate change (https://lets-fund.org/research/climate-change/) from my time doing research at the Center for Global Development for our second campaign. But we want to do more and better research, especially into GCR reduction projects (potentially evaluated/peer-reviewed by other (EA) researchers for QA). If you have a really good idea for what we could look into next, we can discuss it in the comments here.
There are many high impact projects out there, one just needs to do all the research to find them. We’re currently doing the YCombinator startup school and they tell you ‘do things htat don’t scale’
(see http://paulgraham.com/ds.html).
how will it be funded?
Because we’re not taking a cut of the money donated (in fact, we can’t do that becasue we’re not handling any money, it’s all through Facebook and GoFundMe’s crowdfunding platforms), we will have to find donors who think that our work is valuable.
Thanks for the comment!
