I really appreciate this post and am curating it. I also want to signal-boost this AMA with Charity Entrepreneurship from a few months ago.
Some things I particularly like:
The whole project seems like a great approach to getting impactful projects off the ground. And I’ve been really impressed with the work of some of the previously incubated charities.
Potential weaknesses of the ideas and challenges are highlighted
The “co-founder fit” sections are really useful
The 1-sentence summaries → 1-paragraph summaries → More Detailed Summaries structure
I’m also really excited about the February-March 2024 program, which will focus on farmed animals and global health and development mass media interventions. Although I notice I’m a little confused about how it’s possible to apply (and where — is it just the same link?), given that the project ideas are not up yet (and as far as I’m aware, they don’t exist yet) — would love more info on this front!
Thank you so much for the curation! I have added the information about using the same form (https://bit.ly/IP2023Apply) to apply for the February-March 2024 Incubation Program.
We give the possibility to apply early because there is a significant number of applicants who are cause-neutral (they focus more on the high-impact career path than on a specific intervention). There are also applicants that know they want to focus on a specific cause area, but they trust the CE research team to pick the best intervention in that cause area. Maybe important to add that there will be also a second round of applications for the February-March 2024 program, and it will start on July 10, 2023, and end on September 30, 2023.
Hi Lizka!
I’m a current Incubatee, but applied back in Spring 2022, so I do fall into this group Ula is describing. Feel free to DM me with any questions you have!

Hi Lizka, I’ve clarified at the top of the application form that it is for both the 2023 and 2024 programs. Thanks for your comment!
