I proposed the Nonlinear Emergency Fund and Superlinear as Nonlinear Intern.[1]
I co-founded Singapore’s Fridays For Future (featured on Al Jazeera and BBC). After arrests + 1 year of campaigning, Singapore adopted all our demands (Net Zero 2050, $80 Carbon Tax and fossil fuel divestment).
I developed a student forum with >300k active users and a study site with >25k users. I founded an education reform campaign with the Singapore Ministry of Education.

I proposed both ideas at the same time as the Nonlinear team, so we worked on these together.
Hello!
Just a suggestion, maybe the Fund could provide a means to for the public to contact recipients to express interest in working on their funded idea?
I imagine a lot of EAs are open to working on these project ideas, and formalising this process would also help the grant recipients find talent to work with. Y Combinator, for comparison, has ycombinator.com/jobs . I wouldn’t expect the Fund’s small team to build a full feature, but maybe just a contact option/list would be nice?
