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.
I had a great chat with Quinn who shared some excellent insights about the space! I’m continuing active work on Cosmic, although it’ll probably be at least several months before the alpha is ready, and longer for community features to arrive. We’re excited by lots of use cases. Since you run a directory project, one relevant use case is creating organized, interoperable, and collectively updated collections of structured community knowledge, like all of the EA orgs, projects, etc. in existence.
