As Brad points out, even now, and with some (high?) likelihood in the near future, EA will be begging for people to start new things. So please disregard downvotes. Instead, if you think you can pull this off and have credentials, just take tips like mine, Brad’s and others’ and see downvotes as “not ready yet”, and do not interpret it as “a project similar to this is not worthwhile”. There are tons of people right now working on starting new things, and this will only accelerate as the need for it is large.
And criticism is on the EA community if we make promising entrepreneurs discouraged. Here are programs you can apply to to speed up your progress: -AIM incubation -Catalyze Impact -BlueDot -And probably many more that will put you on the path to creating new orgs, even orgs that again create new orgs (this makes me thing that an overview of EA opportunities for builders/entrepreneurs might be helpful)
Hi Benevolent_Rain, thanks again for diving deep into the advice and for showing support, I really appreciate it! I do see your point and I agree that sometimes people have a hard time engaging with new ideas or recognizing what they need. I will look up the programs you mentioned, but I guess they will probably require a much more defined idea compared to my current ‘pilot’ version, so I’ll need some extra time to figure things out. I might also try to post in the EA reddit page, maybe I will find some more traction there. Thank you again for your insights and encouragement!
