Kevin is interested in the philosophical and pragmatic side of EA. He spends most of his time working at start-up not-for-profit FREO2 Foundation, aiming to reduce inequalities in health. He is always passionate about projects focused on impact, kindness, and reducing inequality (in particular those with a technical tilt). Outside of work and when pandemics aren’t surging, he enjoys to travel, in particular to engage with cultures different to his hometown of Melbourne, Australia. He has also spent a considerable amount of time improving his speed over a single lap of an athletics track.

Hi Sean, we met online last year and through 80,000 hours, nice to see you on the forum! Let’s keep the conversation going, I’m in a similar boat looking to maximise exploration value over the 24 months—keen to trade ideas.
Very late to this, but just adding that incorporating in Australia is relatively easy and inexpensive too (~$500 AUD, 15-20 hours). Ongoing compliance burden is low, and incorporating as a ‘not-for-profit limited liability company’ provides good legal protections.
The biggest downside is the limitations on the activities able to be undertaken by any charity, and if your charity is tax-deductible—the range of activities you can undertake is very much constrained.
