FAQ
For Founders, Friends, and the Curious
Why is Reach Capital investing in learning?
Reach Capital was founded on the belief that technology can increase access to life-changing opportunities made possible by quality education. Learning is core to all of our investments, regardless of sector. As technology and society continue to evolve, particularly with advances in artificial intelligence, our systems (from schools, universities, workplaces, and elsewhere) will need to transform the way they cultivate skills and opportunities.
What are the key areas of education investment for Reach Capital?
As our longest active investment sector, we have backed a wide range of innovative solutions that support teachers, families, and learners of all ages. From high-quality student curriculum to tools that elevate teachers, improve school operations, and help adults upskill in the workplace, we are interested in technologies that make learning more engaging, effective, and accessible.
How can Reach support learning companies?
Our investment team includes former educators, administrators, and edtech operators, with decades of combined experience in school systems and education companies. We work closely alongside our founders, providing support in many areas (curriculum development, sales discovery calls, and hiring, to name just a few) and have built proprietary playbooks and market research specifically for learning businesses.
We also have an extensive education network. Our advisory board of education leaders in K-12 and higher education is available to our founders, and our scout community of founders and operators at leading edtech organizations supports (and sometimes joins!) our portfolio companies. We also regularly host and convene leading CEOs, operators, educators, and researchers at events for our portfolio.
What do we look for in edtech founders?
We seek founders who bring authentic connection to the problems they’re solving, and whose lived experiences provide unique insights and unfair advantages in understanding stakeholder needs across the learning ecosystem.
Successful founders combine bold vision with pragmatic execution, navigating complex regulations while driving innovation. They learn fast, adapt quickly to feedback, and can attract exceptional talent. Our General Partner, Jennifer Carolan, has written about four qualities common across all founders. These are not the only important ones, of course, but they’re a solid foundation.
