It’s interesting — lots of people talking about alternative models for research funding, but I don’t see anyone looking for new ways to get smart, ambitious people to work on something together.

Many people assume funding is the problem, but at least for software, the biggest gap I see is in structures for collaboration.

Lots of people willing to self-fund their research work, but it’s hard to have much impact if you go it alone.

I’m imagining a weird hybrid of @recursecenter and @inkandswitch
