[Career review] “Founding effective nonprofits (international development)” by Benjamin Todd

If you have gained expertise in a relevant area of international development, there are opportunities to found a non-profit that seeks to efficiently and transparently implement an evidence-backed intervention which is not already the focus of an existing non-profit. Organizations like this have the potential to receive tens of millions of dollars from funders like the Gates Foundation and GiveWell within a couple of years, achieving a large impact.
