At the beginning of 2015, the EAO team was three people. Over the course of this year we:
Marketed Will’s book Doing Good Better and Peter Singer’s book The Most Good You Can Do. We sold more than 17,000 books in total and received coverage in The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, NPR and more.
Launched effectivealtruism.org and quickly caused the site to be the number one search result for “effective altruism” in the US.
Conducted VIP outreach to some of the most influential people in the world including Elon Musk, Bill Gates, YCombinator, and 20 different major foundations.
Launched EA Ventures, attracted 22 major donors and partners including YCombinator, and the OS Fund and helped move over $100,000 to new effective organizations.
Created EA Global and ran conferences across three continents, increasing total attendance over last year’s EA Summit by 400%.
You can read more about our team at the bottom of the CEA team page.
If this claim were false, a plausible reason would be that the team lacks anyone with robust experience inside other social movements. It seems plausible that the EAO team may spend too much time figuring out what infrastructure to build and not enough time building. This might be avoided if the team had more experience in other social movements.
