Does this mean that you wouldn’t recommend funding another project at a similar stage to EA Ventures, with a similarly robust case? It seems to me that it would be appropriate to fund it a small amount, in a similar way that you are in effect funding EA Ventures a small amount (with your time) to learn more. Are you planning to avoid funding at that scale?
I agree. If it didn’t seem that EA Ventures could gather the evidence it needed absent money then I would probably be in favor of a small amount of funding to launch the project and gather data. Since the members of the founding team have funding elsewhere this wasn’t necessary and no further funding seemed necessary.
