I agree that a failure to get funded does not imply funding constraints, but I definitely do think that many EA orgs, especially early ones, could benefit from more people with money looking to donate. There tends to be a large information asymmetry where you need to establish a clear track record and/​or have someone spend a lot of time evaluating you before you can get funded. This is hard for early organizations to make happen.
I also think there are other systematic failures in EA where the best orgs do not always get fully funded.
