Time/Talent/Money Contributors to Existential Risk Ventures
For Future is a platform to discover and back ventures addressing humanity’s existential risks (e.g. climate change, AI safety, biohacking) by contributing your talent/money/time. It’s like a crowdsourcing x crowdfunding online classifieds.
We’re trying to see whether people and existential risk ventures are interested in what we’re building and how we can improve. So far, we’ve validated interest from 9 ventures (incl. Helios, SkyCool Systems, Paragon SDC). Now, we’re looking to gauge people’s interest in contributing to these ventures.

We’re also hiring for these roles:
Hey,
How do you vet the companies that you aim to back?
Do you have specific companies you recommend?
You said “we’ve validated interest from 9 ventures”. Did you vet these ventures somehow?
I clicked “Discover” in your website and got a broken link
Regarding your hiring:
Seems to me like the stage of “product market fit”, not “growth”, no?
Before you hire a visual storyteller, I’d vote writing [the thing you want a visual story teller for] as text. And, as you’re doing here, ask for reviews about it
What do you think?
[I find myself saying lots of things I think are missing, but I’m saying this in the tone of trying to be helfpul. Also, I see you scheduled with me for tomorrow]
Why are bio-related ventures called ‘bio-hacking’ in the posts and google forms? I understand that term to mean DIY biologists or people experimenting on their own bodies. That’s pretty different to biosecurity/health security/pandemic preparedness or whatever other term for biorisk.
