Hi there! Ben Pence and I launched the EA Angel Group several months ago, which seems related to your proposal. We wrote an EA Forum post announcing the launch. It’d be great to jump on a call and compare thoughts on what we’re working on and how we might be able to collaborate! One thought, some funders may be uncomfortable with being publicly listed (perhaps due to concerns about lots of people contacting them), but a certain subset of funders could be pretty on board with the idea.

Agreed. One thought I’ve had is that donors that have concerns like this but that are still interested could set up an anonymous email address that forwards to their main inbox, and list themselves as that. This way if it ever becomes too much for them, they can be removed from the site and it’s somewhat more separate/compartmentalized from their real name. I’m open to additional community input on other ways to allow donors to be listed in a way that is semi-anonymous and preserves much of the upside for donors and potential grantees, while reducing concerns from donors like that.

Thank you Brendon, I’ve sent you a PM now!
