I wrote here a while back with this throwaway asking for help: AI researchers from Russia looking for a new home. We still have a few options, but I wonder if it’s possible in the current climate to find funding for a startup doing fundamental AI research with focus on alignment, or any startup needs to be product-focused to get funding. What do you think? Do you have any potential contacts I can reach out to?
[Question] Is it possible to find venture capital for AI research org with strong safety focus?
