Also of interest: MATS mentor applications have been growing linearly at a rate of +70/year. We are now publicly advertising for mentor applications for the first time (previously, we sent out mass emails and advertised on Slack workspaces), which might explain the sub-exponential growth. Giving the exponential growth in applicants and linear growth in mentors, the latter seems to be the limiting constraint still.
