Thank you so much for writing this post, Joey! I was one of the people who recently emailed you about the potential impact of a “CE light.” I was hoping it would be a way to take people who didn’t have a lot of connection/money constraints on founding (would likely found soon anyway) and make them much more impactful before launch.
But looking at it through the lens of competition for mid-level funding helps me see the weaknesses in that. Why move an 80%-good charity closer to launch, when 80%-good isn’t what we need, and we would be much better served by putting more resources in a 100%-good charity?
I’m glad other people had similar questions so you could make this post! Your post, especially the CE founder pool case study, answers all the questions I had at this point about the idea.
Hey Spencer, thanks! I’m glad the post was helpful. I think these sorts of questions are both common and pretty universally so, I’m happy to be encouraged to write up a bit more description on how CE thinks about it.
