AI Windfall Capital Pipeline to African Development

Read the explanation

The model calculates an initial liquid equity pool by taking thirty percent of combined OpenAI and Anthropic market valuations, dedicated to founders and early employees. Applying a 50 percent Giving Pledge yields thirty-one point five billion dollars globally. Setting African deployment to 30 percent channels nine point four five billion dollars. Over a five-year horizon, this releases one point eight nine billion dollars annually across health, agritech, compute clusters, and direct unconditional cash. Selecting presets like Effective Altruism or Compute Leap immediately recalculates sector weights, redistributing flow to regional metros from Nairobi to Johannesburg.
