  • Work with domain experts to validate feasibility and with stakeholders to assess whether an intervention would be sufficient.
  • Identify the people best suited to advise, steer, fund, and eventually lead each intervention.
  • Collaborate with recruiters to pitch potential founders for new organizations and introduce them to funders.
