Great idea. I am curious about how you plan to keep in touch with the teams/individuals that do get the grant, and how the "AI Grant Network" works concretely.

My understanding: you get nothing tangible from the grant ("The money is a gift"), no contracts or IP... To me it seems like a bet that the networks effects and the gratefulness of the grantees will pay back somehow. I think this is a smart move because investing in smart individuals is itself smart, although the devil is in the details.
- danicgross 9y agoWe're starting off with a chatroom for grant winners, reviewers and some experts. We have other things planned like Q&A over Hangouts, in-person meetups and more. We'll treat this like a startup: experiment with a few options, talk to our users and see what's most useful. As for value capture, there's no master plan. Getting to know smart people is enough of a reward.
