The umbrella fiscal sponsor that housed CEA, 80,000 Hours, GWWC, Forethought (v1), Longview (US), and others. Bought Wytham Abbey (2022, ~£15M) with Open Phil/Tallinn-linked money; repaid $26.8M to the FTX estate (2024); sold Wytham for ~£6M (£8.6M impairment); then dissolved itself by spinning every project into independent orgs (2024–26). Effectively the corporate story of EA's rise and retrenchment.
