Since the top 20% of founders who enter your programme generate most of the impact, and it’s fairly predictable who these founders will be, it seems like getting more applicants in that top 20% bracket could be pretty huge for the impact you’re able to have. Curious if you have any reaction to that? I don’t know whether expanding the applicant pool at the top end is a top priority for the organisation currently.
Thanks for writing this Joey, very interesting!

Yep, increasing this pool is a top priority, particularly outreach outside of the EA movement.
You’re right, and so It is a top priority! Others can say more as to the current hypotheses on how to do so
