Investment approach

Thesis
The landscape of education is undergoing dramatic changes. After years of false starts, schools and universities are rapidly adopting new technologies to collect and analyze data, personalize learning environments, provide new tools for teachers, and deliver better student outcomes. Venture capital firms do not want to speak with you if you are an entrepreneur with a great idea, but no revenue yet. Come talk to us. We understand education, and our money is greener. We will help you make your idea a realitySource (opens in a new tab)
Eligibility
What are our investment criteria? We invest in products that: Create greater student engagement, Give teachers greater insight into what students know or are learning, on a real-time basis, so that teachers can better plan their lessons, break their classes into appropriate groups, and deliver differentiated instruction, Make teachers and administrators more efficient so they can focus on teaching (not so that we can reduce the number of teachers).
