What are we going to spend this on? There seems to be a shortage of evidence-based global development causes. Current GiveWell charities are growing as fast as they can but the funding pool is growing faster (which is great! But it is already making me hesitant to give or encourage others to)
Should we not be working with and giving to orgs like Innovations for Poverty Action and JPAL to help us find new causes? Our cause discovery rate seems very slow as it is. The only new GiveWell cause in the last few years has been New Incentives, which is already fully-funded.
If it’s possible / feasible, I imagine Charity Entrepreneurship collaborating with JPAL and IPA would lead to some new highly cost-effective global health startups.
Great post

EA funds gave $3 Million to IPA over the last two years:

Did you mean something different?
That’s great. Cause discovery should be top priority while we’re running out of causes
