Do you/YC have any personal or financial connection to the "Open Philanthropy Project"? Just curious.

- dang 10y agoI don't, and only hear of these things when they show up on HN. No idea about YC but I doubt it.
- metricodus 10y agoThanks.
- schoen 10y agoOn the other side, OpenAI was previously also funded by YC: http://blog.ycombinator.com/openai/ http://blog.ycombinator.com/openai/
- deontologizt 10y agoI don't know if this counts, but YC funds the Centre for Effective Altruism and 80,000 Hours. CEA, 80k, and OPP are all part of the "effective altruism" ecosystem, and it is not hard to find personal connections between them. (For example, CEA recently launched "EA Funds", which are managed by employees of OPP.) The connection is not direct. There may be more direct connections between YC and OPP, but I am not aware of any.
