When we were originally thinking about the fellowship, one of the cases for impact was making community building a more viable career (hence the emphasis in this post), but it’s definitely intended more broadly for people working on the long-term future. I’m pretty unsure how the fellowship will shake out in terms of community organizers vs researchers vs entrepreneurs long-term – we’ve funded a mix so far (including several people who I’m not sure how to categorize / are still unsure about what they want to do).
