Reach Out!

Reach Capital has its origins in NewSchools Venture Fund (NSVF), where our founding partners began working together and investing in early-stage education technology companies when they launched the NewSchools Seed fund in 2011 and the Zynga co.lab accelerator. The team made over 40 early-stage investments through that fund, including K-12 category leaders such as Newsela, Nearpod (acquired), SchoolMint (acquired), NoRedInk, ClassDojo, and Ellevation (acquired).

To grow their impact and continue investing in companies transforming how people learn, grow, and thrive, they spun out of NSVF and founded Reach Capital in 2015. They picked the name Reach to signify the goal of expanding the reach of high-quality learning experiences that increase access to opportunity. Reach has since invested in over 140 companies across learning, health, and work—areas that are essential and interconnected in our mission to enable people to live their best lives.

We are an early-stage venture capital firm that typically makes initial investments in Pre-seed, Seed, and Series A rounds.

A key element of our investment strategy is our ability to make investment decisions in a timely and efficient manner. We apply a high standard of due diligence when evaluating potential investments, but are nimble and can move quickly when necessary. 

Our check size depends on the stage of the financing round and the company’s business model. It typically ranges from $100K for Pre-seed to upwards of $12 million for later-stage startups.
