Biggest problems with the current giving landscape
As a field, it doesn't feel like we're on track to optimally allocate the "Anthropic donor wave". I'm excited for things like Lightcone Commons but it only captures a piece of the funding pipeline. I'd like to see more ideas on how to get small fast checks where they're needed, and start more opportunities -- individual regranting is the most obvious candidate but I"m excited to consider others.
