Our 3-Step Process
See how we invest in best-in-class educational products that generate enough profit to support our mission while giving our LPs outsized returns.
1. Identify
Which innovative educational startups can bend the arc of human history by improving & accelerating learning?
2. Invest & Build
Invest capital & in-house expertise to help build best-in-class products that command premium prices.
3. Reinvest in our children
Use profits to give access to underprivileged children, giving equal access to learning & opportunity.
Investment Philosophy
We invest in startups building best-in-class educational products and use our in-house product and marketing talent to augment our investments.
Though our mission is typical of a charity, we’re structured and behave more like a venture capital fund to hold ourselves accountable and take a more impactful approach to our mission.
We believe capitalism is the best way to align incentives and stay focused on impact, minimizing the risk of misguided idealism and inefficient outcomes.
For example, if we built free educational products, we would lack market pressure to build a world-class product. Thus, underprivileged children would get inferior products, leading to inferior education and opportunities.
By building best-in-class products we command a price premium from parents who can afford the best educational tools on the market. We then reinvest profits to provide affordable access to underprivileged children.
This benefits everyone by giving us more data to improve the product for all learning styles, languages, etc.
Fund I
We can only effectively deploy limited funds, so Fund I is limited to $2 million. We will increase the size of future funds as we learn to scale.
โIt is easier to build strong children than to repair broken men.โ
