Convening Programs

This team aims to strengthen:

• Relationship building as a general investment in future cooperation potential
• Intellectual discourse such as sharing knowledge or exploring new ideas
• Professional support such as feedback, advice, or introductions
• Collaboration involving pooled labor and/or other resources on shared goals
• Coordination of complementary actions, to avoid redundancy or gaps
• by offering:
• Hosting services in physical or virtual workspaces, with lightweight facilitation, to encourage self-directed cooperation
• Facilitated events, ranging from high-touch hosting for individual VIPs to large workshops and conferences
• enabled by:
• Network curation including the framework that defines individuals’ and teams’ terms of participation, and the policies, processes & tools for curating participants
• Interaction design including the design and implementation of cultural norms, formal policies, and functional designs for convening spaces, both physical and online
  
  
  

Incubation & Growth Programs

This team advances Constellation’s mission to safely navigate transformative AI by:

• Creating the conditions for high-leverage ideas and orgs to emerge
• Enabling new paradigms and interventions to be tested and scaled
• Addressing capability constraints via projects & orgs across the lifecycle: idea → development → adoption
  
  
  

We help projects and organizations incubate and accelerate their impact by offering targeted, lifecycle-aligned support:

• Project Incubation: Support early-stage ideas through structured programs and lightweight experiments (e.g. Astra fellowship)
• Org Incubation: Help founders launch nonprofits or for-profits focused on high-leverage safety work (e.g. C* incubator program)
• Shared Services:
• Core Infrastructure: Offer shared tools, systems, workspace and biz ops services that reduce friction and improve execution
• Acceleration Services: Provide high-quality execution and strategy support to accelerate or scale impact (e.g. research/project management, strategy, board & governance advisory)
• Adoption Support: Help translate promising work into field impact via comms support, partnerships, and targeted institutional engagement (e.g. media relations, government relations)
  
  
  

We focus direct execution on areas where we have strong comparative advantage. For others, we provide advisory support, shared tooling, and connect teams to trusted external specialists.

Talent Mobilization Programs

We strengthen the AI safety field’s capacity to meet its most pressing challenges by mobilizing and developing talent into high-impact roles. This involves:

• Entry into the field - placing individuals into their first AI safety-aligned roles
• Movement within the field - enabling transitions into more impactful or better-aligned roles
• Sustained network impact - increasing the effectiveness and retention of individuals in high-impact* positions
  
  
  

We prioritize capability-driven strategic talent deployment by:

• Maximizing individual impact through high-quality placements
• Enabling timely, well-matched transitions across the ecosystem
• Providing tailored support to increase the effectiveness and retention of individuals in high-impact roles
  
  
  

This approach addresses capability gaps, accelerates organizational progress, and strengthens the AI safety talent pipeline across sectors.
