+==== GiveWell ====
+At Bridgewater, Karnofsky met his future [[GiveWell]] co-founder [[Elie Hassenfeld]]. In 2006, Karnofsky and Hassenfeld started a charity club where they and other Bridgewater employees pooled in money and investigated the best charities to donate the money to. In mid-2007, with donations from their colleagues, Karnofsky and Hassenfeld formed a fund called "The Clear Fund", and quit their jobs to work full time on GiveWell, whose goal was to allocate the money in the Clear Fund to the best charities.((Strom, S.

+In December 2007, Karnofsky was discovered posting a question about the organization to [[MetaFilter]] using another individual's name, and then posting an answer about GiveWell with his own name but without disclosing his affiliation with GiveWell. The negative publicity led Karnofsky to resign from the role of executive director, though he was later reinstated.((Strom, S.
