Hi, thanks for asking! We're moving forward, got funding from Lightspeed, and plan to run our pilot in Q4 of this year.  You can subscribe at the bottom of catalyze-impact.org if you want to make sure to stay in the loop about sign-ups and updates

To share some anecdotal data: I personally have had positive experiences doing regular coaching calls with Kat this year and feel that her input has been very helpful. 

I would encourage us all to put off updating until we also get the second side of the story - that generally seems like good practice to me whenever it is possible.

Hi, I'd encourage you to apply if you recognize yourself in the About you section!

When in doubt always apply is my motto personally

I'd be curious to hear from the people who pressed the disagreement button on Evan's remark:  what part of this do you disagree with or not recognize?

I was thinking about helping with infrastructure around access to large amounts of compute but had not considered trying to help with access to cutting-edge models but I think it might be a very good suggestion. Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
