Karma: 780

I’m a social entrepreneur and product manager that’s been involved in EA since 2013! Right now, my interests lie in the areas of self/​life improvement and societal transformation.

I’m the COO of Roote, an educational hub and startup studio focused on systems change to ensure humanity has a bright future. This includes reducing human and animal suffering as well as x-risks (see Roote’s article on meta existential risks).

I’m also the founder of Better, a research organization and startup studio that is working on improving well-being and well-doing. We’re specifically operating in the space of evidence-based self-improvement. Our theory of change is that recommendations we make can significantly amplify the efforts of EAs and EA organizations as well as improve people’s lives in a highly cost effective manner.
