Co-founder at Asana and Good Ventures (a funding partner of Coefficient Giving). Strange looper. You can just build the things you want to see in the world.

Cartographer style map of US public and global private giving by sector.
Waterfall chart, "Supply ledger — where 20 mb/d went," in million barrels per day. A gray bar at 20 represents Hormuz flow at risk. Green downward steps: Saudi East-West pipeline ramp −5, UAE Fujairah pipeline −0.5, intermittent transits −6 average (red whiskers mark a 0–8 range; transits are near zero as of July 13). Blue downward steps: U.S. SPR release −1.4, other IEA reserves −2, OPEC+ and other supply −1.1. A final red bar shows the residual gap of about 4 mb/d, with whiskers extending to 10 to show the gap when transits stop.
Horizontal stacked bar chart (modeled estimate): who funds each philanthropic sector, 2025, USD billions, each bar one recipient sector segmented by the four giving sources (Individuals, Foundations, Corporations, Bequests). Religion $146B: Individuals $135.5B, Foundations $4.6B, Corporations ~$0B, Bequests $6.0B — almost entirely individual. Human Services $96B: Individuals $65.2B, Foundations $21.6B, Corporations $8.7B, Bequests $0.4B. Education $89B: Individuals $37.3B, Foundations $28.1B, Corporations $9.6B, Bequests $13.7B. Gifts to Foundations $76B: Individuals $47.7B, Foundations $7.5B, Corporations $1.7B, Bequests $19.2B. Public-Society Benefit $69B: Individuals $35.0B, Foundations $15.2B, Corporations $10.5B, Bequests $8.7B. Health $59B: Individuals $22.1B, Foundations $26.4B, Corporations $4.8B, Bequests $6.0B — the one sector where foundations out-give individuals. International $32B: Individuals $22.5B, Foundations $2.1B, Corporations $4.4B, Bequests $2.8B. Arts $26B: Individuals $16.3B, Foundations $6.6B, Corporations $1.7B, Bequests $1.7B. Environment $24B: Individuals $12.7B, Foundations $5.0B, Corporations $2.2B, Bequests $3.7B. Modeled from Giving USA 2025 margins plus Candid, CECP and IRS SOI institutional distributions; individuals derived as residual.
Horizontal bar chart: The arithmetic of the gap — what left, what's unfunded, and everything philanthropy has, USD billions, one year. Red bars (the hole): US aid withdrawn in one year $39.7B (FY2024 → FY2025 obligations); Unfunded 2025 humanitarian appeal $35B ($47B asked, ~$12B received). Teal bars (private money): All philanthropy for development $17.1B (OECD-tracked institutional giving, per year across 506 institutions); Gates Foundation 2026 payout $9B (largest single private funder, all causes). Key takeaway: even if every philanthropic development dollar on Earth were redirected to the humanitarian appeal alone, it would cover barely half the gap. The bars deliberately mix measures — the point is scale, and the scales don't close. Sources: ForeignAssistance.gov, UN OCHA, OECD Private Philanthropy for Development, Gates Foundation.
Dumbbell chart: The 2025 hit, agency by agency. Agency-reported funding, 2024 vs 2025, USD billions. Each row shows the 2024 level (blue dot) and 2025 level (red dot) connected by a bar. WFP: $9.76B → $6.52B (−33%). UNICEF: $8.26B → $8.10B (−2%, but 2026 income projected −20%). UNHCR: $4.83B → $3.53B (−27%). IOM: $3.71B → $2.84B (−24%). WHO: $3.17B → $3.14B (−1%, but 2026–27 budget cut −22%). FAO (voluntary): $1.74B → $1.63B (−6%). UNFPA: $1.66B → $1.46B (−12%). UNRWA: $1.40B → $0.89B (−37%). WHO and UNICEF look flat because their US losses land in expenses and 2026, not 2025 revenue. Source: each agency's own reporting basis (WFP confirmed contributions, UNICEF total income, UNHCR voluntary contributions, IOM combined revenue, WHO total revenue, FAO voluntary contributions, UNFPA contribution revenue, UNRWA pledges).
Net aid received, by country (2024) Net ODA received as a share of gross national income, 2024 Source: OECD DAC2A via SDMX API (net ODA disbursements from all official donors — bilateral plus multilateral agencies' outflows), current USD, accessed Jul 2026. 2024 is the latest year with final recipient-level detail; 2025 country allocations publish ~Dec 2026 — so this is the map of dependence on money that has since been withdrawn. Grey = not ODA-eligible or no data. Per-person figures are dominated by micro-states (Marshall Islands: $18,690/person in 2024 on renewed US Compact funding). Scroll to zoom; drag to pan when zoomed.

Multi-line chart: The six largest aid providers, 2000–2025. Net ODA disbursements in constant 2024 USD billions for the United States, Germany, United Kingdom, Japan, France, and EU institutions. The US was the dominant donor for two decades, peaking at ~$66B in 2023, then collapsed 57% to ~$28B in 2025 — dropping from 31% of all DAC aid to 17%. Germany became the world's largest bilateral donor for the first time at ~$26B, though it also cut 17%. The UK fell from a $20B plateau to ~$15B. Japan held relatively steady around $13–18B. France eased from $16B to ~$13B. EU institutions spiked to ~$50B in 2025, though this is loan-inflated (Ukraine Facility lending counted at face value); on the grant-equivalent measure the EU actually fell 14%. Source: OECD DAC1 (net disbursements, constant 2024 prices); 2025 preliminary.

2026 U.S. Midterms dashboard built on Polymarket prediction-market prices (June 2026). Four summary cards: House control — Democrats 80%; Senate control — Republicans 56%; most-likely scenario — "Democrats Sweep" at 42%; toss-up Senate seats — 2 of 21. Below, two horizontal split bars: House is 80% blue (Democrats) / 20% red (Republicans); Senate is 44% Democrat / 56% Republican. The market expects Democrats to take the House while Republicans hold the Senate.
Line chart of Brent crude oil from April 7 to June 8, 2026, annotated with six "deal near" moments in the US-Iran talks. Each marker shows the optimistic quote and the price: wave 1 (Apr 13) "some progress" at ~$108; wave 2 (May 7) "closest yet" at ~$107; wave 3 (May 23) "largely negotiated" at ~$97; wave 4 (May 28) "mostly agreed" at ~$93; wave 5 (Jun 1) "very good deal" at ~$99; wave 6 (Jun 8) "final negotiations" at ~$98. Prices fell as deal optimism built through late May, then rose again as talks collapsed amid renewed strikes — oil traded each "we're close" headline. Note: this is Brent; WTI runs about $5–6 lower.
