Summary
Austin (from Manifund) is fundraising for Mox, a coworking and events space in San Francisco aimed at supporting AI safety and EA community work. The project addresses the gap of having no major AI safety hub in SF despite most AI labs being located there, launching a beta in February 2025 with 40+ members. Funding is sought to expand operations and community-building activities.
Key Points
- •Mox fills a geographic gap: most AI safety hubs are in Berkeley, but key AI labs and talent are concentrated in San Francisco.
- •Beta launched February 2025 with 40+ members; fundraising now underway via Manifund platform.
- •Goals include providing coworking space and hosting events to connect AI safety researchers and practitioners in SF.
- •The project uses impact certificates as part of its funding and accountability structure.
- •Founded by Austin, who previously worked at Manifund and consulted with leaders at Constellation, Lighthaven, FAR Labs, and OpenPhil.
