Yeah, I was super surprised to hear that that was the second approach that you were taking.

So we'll come back to that because I think it's really interesting.

But maybe first, tell us a little bit about the history of how Savita got started.

Yeah, so okay, so you've kind of heard about these effective altruist ideas, and you're thinking, maybe I want to want to start a project to tackle a neglected problem in an effective way.

How did you find Fiona?

And also, how did you end up kind of settling on vaccinations and this approach?

Tractability and neglectedness.

Is that 9.1 percentage points?

Yeah.

So some of these studies that look at the effect size, they don't think that much about cost.

Did that paper kind of do a like per dollar analysis?

Yeah, interesting.

So the idea, yeah, even though you could have more impact in one particular village doing all three, it makes more sense with a given budget to do the two that are best and then try to reach more areas, because I guess that's easier to scale and

Yeah, so I didn't realize that charity entrepreneurship was quite so central to getting this started as it was.

Because for those who don't know, charity entrepreneurship is this project, I guess, yeah, an incubator run by people who are very sympathetic to effective altruist ideas.

And I guess they do a bunch of research where they try to kind of shortlist interventions that they would love to see people going and actually trying to implement.

in the real world.

And then I guess they try to match those with people like you who are thinking, I want to start something, but I'm not sure exactly what and I'm not sure who to do it with.

And I guess, yeah, pair up founders and then pair them up with an idea that's a good fit for them and then help them actually get moving.

I guess, yeah, maybe we'll come back and talk about that later because it could be an excellent resource or an excellent thing to go through for some people in the audience.
