I’m confused about how this is funded. I notice “this sounds like a scam” alarm bells going off in my head (to be clear, I don’t assign high probability to this actually being a scam, I’m just noting that that alarm bell is sounding)
It’s funded by the Atlas Fellowship, which is funded by Open Philanthropy. It’s something of a side-hustle of Atlas (outside of the scope and brand of the organization, and run by a subset of our team and some external collaborators). We have a fair amount of experience running different kinds of workshops, and are experimenting with what programs targeted at other demographic and niches might look like.

Thanks for the feedback! Added to the OP.
