It seems that AI safety is at least partly bottlenecked by a lack of orgs. To help address that, we’ve added a page to AISafety.com aimed at lowering the friction for starting one: AISafety.com/founders.

This page was built largely as the result of a suggestion from @Ryan Kidd, who found he was frequently sharing the same set of resources with potential founders and realised it would be useful to have something similar publicly available.

It lists:

Fiscal sponsors
Incubators
VCs

As with all resources on AISafety.com, we put substantial bandwidth into making sure the information on this page is accurate and up to date. If you have any feedback, please let us know in the comments or via the Suggest buttons on the page.

This is the 11th resource page on the site. Here's the full list:

courses for self-study
communities, both local and online
upcoming events and training programs (plus a weekly newsletter)
funders offering support for AI safety projects (and a newsletter announcing new opportunities)
field map displaying the key orgs, programs, and projects in AI safety
advisors offering guidance calls to help individuals most effectively contribute to AI safety
media channels [...]
