Thanks for sharing this! Great to see the impact of ARENA!
According to the OpenPhil public grant[1] this iteration of Arena got £245,895, and with this you were able to achieve the points mentioned in this post right?
Also it is great to hear that there are 4 new people working in AIS thanks to the program! It would be nice to know how did you manage it (and what was the counterfactual). Getting 4 people through full hiring processes within 4 weeks seems impresive, did you manage because they got jobs at orgs who were also at LISA? or there were other networking effects or other factors that made this possible?
