How much of your dev has been done by people who are currently on the team (as opposed to dev support by manifold that isn’t predictive of future work?)
Also, to what extend do you get more bites from non-standard funders/crypto folks. It seems like a more decentralised regranter might get support from a different group of wealthy people.
All of the development for the Manifund site has been done by our team (Rachel and me, with contributions from Lily and others). We do sometimes copy over snippets from the Manifold codebase, but haven’t ever asked them for dev work.
Depends a bit on what you mean by non-standard funders? Our individual donors come from backgrounds in finance, crypto, ML, and tech; there’s a lot of overlap with “person who might give to the LTFF”. We would like to broaden our reach to include other kinds of funders, for sure.
I’m really impressed by Manifund. Props.

Thanks, Nathan!

[quick answer from my phone]
all or roughly all dev work was done by rachel & austin. at the time, austin was at manifold; he’s now at manifund.
not too much bite from crypto donors/other nonstandard funders, though we also haven’t tried very hard.
