If it’s an EA project and you need support, I’d apply to EA Funds, and tell FTX that you’re interested and say you’re still seeking funding. Even if they have the money, they also aren’t throwing cash at anything that moves—and FTX isn’t the best placed group to evaluate EA projects. And I’d note that EA funds also aren’t particularly funding constrained—but if they were, it would make more sense for FTX to give them money instead of trying to evaluate projects and fund people directly.
