Hey Rick! What advice do you have for animal-focused groups trying to appeal to environmentally-focused funders? Any specific strategies to bridge the gap?

Regarding recruitment at AIM, are there any common misconceptions applicants have about what it takes to succeed in impact-driven entrepreneurship? Did you have any doubts about yourself when you first applied to the program?
Hey Ben, thanks for doing this AMA! What do you consider the most valuable skills you developed while co-founding MHI, and how do you plan to apply them to your current and future career endeavors?
Thanks for writing this! I love the walking meeting with yourself idea.
Thanks for writing this, Spencer!
Hi Nicolas, thanks for making this, I think it’s a great idea!
In terms of animal welfare actions, I think the Humane League’s fast action network is mostly for US residents, though you might want to check with them. It could be good to clarify that on your website. Animal Justice is a canadian animal law advocacy organization that has the Animal Justice Academy, which is a canadian action collective (similar to THL’s fast action network, but for Canadian residents).
In general, a suggestion I have is to add a “suggest action” form on your website to allow others to submit ideas for you to review and add to the list.
I’m very excited for this charity! Thanks for posting this introduction
This is such a compelling idea—thank you for putting it out there! Does the pledge commit me to pursuing high-impact work specifically, or could it also include earning to give if that turns out to be my best option for impact later down the line?
