FAQ
For Founders, Friends, and the Curious
Why is Reach Capital investing in AI for work?
Economic opportunity is an important cornerstone of human potential. Our AI for work investments are rooted in helping people access meaningful careers, achieve economic prosperity, and reach their aspirations. In an age of unprecedented technological and social transformation, we back visionary companies creating new, innovative solutions that leverage technology for the benefit of workers.
What Is our thesis on how AI will change work?
We believe AI represents a transformative opportunity to empower workers. At Reach, we see AI agents and copilots as “digital worker companions” that will dramatically enhance productivity across industries struggling with labor shortages—from manufacturing and logistics to healthcare and services. This vision builds on our long-standing commitment to workforce development and education. By complementing reskilling and training efforts, AI can make today’s workforce more capable, efficient, and adaptable. Ultimately, our thesis is grounded in human empowerment: using AI to extend human potential, bridge skill gaps, and enable access to more meaningful and higher-value work.
Where are some focus areas for our work investments?
Within the future of work, we are focusing our investments across four key areas.
- Vertical AI targeting industries like logistics, manufacturing, and construction, where AI can automate and augment work in sectors with low software penetration and high churn.
- Horizontal AI, which is reinventing core business functions such as HR, sales, finance, and quality assurance.
- AI stack—the critical infrastructure layers including data, access, model training, safety, and contextual memory.
- AI-powered services, where AI enhances scalability and margins in labor-intensive industries.
Across all of these areas, our focus remains consistent: investing in solutions that empower people and elevate human capability.
How can Reach support work companies?
We proactively work alongside our founders on all aspects of early-stage company building, from recruiting top-tier talent to collaborating on sales, go-to-market, and product strategies. Our work advisory board of talent leaders and executives from some of the biggest global brands (including ADP, Boeing, IBM, Kraft Heinz, and Goldman Sachs) is available to our founders. Our scout community also includes founders and operators at leading enterprises from Amazon to Uber who support (and sometimes join!) our portfolio companies. We regularly host and convene leading CEOs, operators, and executives at roundtable discussions and events for our portfolio founders.
What do we look for in AI for work 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 work 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.
