Thanks for the post!

selected for top tier accelerators such as Entrepreneur First, Antler, YC, and Techstars

Can I ask which ones? Especially interested in YC.

I'm EtG and would love to connect with others. My DMs are open! A bit about me: I'm a SWE based in Europe, and my preferred cause area is animal welfare.

It seems like they haven't accepted any non-profit since 2022, around the time Garry Tan became YC's CEO. Garry has been very vocal against EA (specially AI Safety) on Twitter.

Would you consider applying to YC?

I imagine it only makes sense for certain types of non-profits, like OWID.

I'd love to see Joey Savoie on Dwarkesh’s podcast. Can someone make it happen?

I think the pledge hits a sweet spot. It's not legally binding, so it's not really a lifelong decision, but being a public commitment helps push people to stick to their altruistic values.
