Great! Cool to hear how you’re already making traction on this.
Perhaps EAWork.club has potential as a launch platform?
I’d also suggest emailing Kerry Vaughan from EA Grants to get his perspective. He’s quite entrepreneurial so probably receptive to hearing new ideas (e.g. he originally started EA Ventures, though that also seemed to take the traditional granting approach).
Hi Remmelt, have you joined the Rethink Charity Slack? I can’t seem to find you on there.
I increased my speed of reviewing progress in the space of small project funding. There seems to be one major project related to improving centralized grant funding. 1–2 people are interested in implementing a “Kickstarter for EA projects” at some point in the future but have not started yet. The EA Peer Funding project is essentially “Kickstarter for making grants to individual EAs.” This is the extent of my knowledge based on Skyping with several people in this space. No one has mentioned anything else in the comments section of this post or otherwise.
Since there doesn’t appear to be others in this area yet, I believe moving forward with concept refinement and seeking additional feedback would be a useful next step. Let’s coordinate this via Rethink Charity’s Slack!

Let me know if I can be of use!
