Records trace Tallinn/SFF money conduits to AI evaluator EquiStamp

kevinnbass maps the AI-safety evaluator funding web: Jaan Tallinn's disbursement file shows $786,994 sent via SFF in Nov 2024 to Vanguard Charitable's AI Safety Tactical Opportunities Fund; Manifund recorded a $400,000 Oct 2025 donation from that fund to EquiStamp, invested via a SAFE. EquiStamp holds two EU AI Office contract lots. Separately, 27 documented Anthropic investors (incl. Amazon, Google, Nvidia, Sequoia) also appear among 9 mapped companies; Faculty — now leading Anthropic's new evaluation partnership — counted Metaplanet Holdings among its shareholders. The author cautions the records trace conduits, not specific dollars, and are facts about the field, not findings about any evaluation.
