How come you think that? Maybe I’m biased from spending lots of time with Charity Entrepreneurship folks but I feel like I know a bunch of talented and entrpreneurial people who could run projects like the ones mentioned above. If anything, I would say neartermist EA has a better (or at least, longer) track record of incubating new projects relative to longtermist EA!
I also think that the value of a nice forum, EAGs, and the EA Funds is lower for non-longtermists (or equivalently the opportunity cost is higher).
E.g. if there was no forum, and the CE folks had extra $ and talent, I don’t think they would make one. (Or EAGs, or possibly ACE EA funds). Also, the EA fund For global health and development is already pretty much just the GiveWell All Grants Fund.
The main bottleneck I’m thinking of is energetic people with good judgement to execute on and manage these projects.
