- [At Vibecon and Config, the Future of AI Design Looks Very Human](https://www.reachcapital.com/resources/thought-leadership/vibecon-config-ai-design/): Across two contrasting environments, similar threads kept coming up. The more capable AI becomes, it turns out, the more the oldest human skills and intuition matter — things like trust, attention, language, play and joy.
- [Preserving What’s Human: Our Journey With GPTZero](https://www.reachcapital.com/resources/news/gptzero-superhuman/): Edward Tian and Alex Cui, co-founders of GPTZero, were the exception. Alex brought the machine learning depth from his time as an undergraduate at Caltech and a Master’s student at the University of Toronto. Edward also had technical chops, as a computer science major at Princeton with a journalism minor, and a stint at BBC working on an investigation team tracking disinformation spread.

- [Stop Worrying About AI Replacing Doctors. Worry About How Many More We’ll Need.](https://www.reachcapital.com/resources/thought-leadership/ai-doctors-healthcare-training/): There’s a dominant narrative taking hold in healthcare circles that AI is coming for clinical jobs. Surveys suggest a majority of physicians believe it will make them obsolete.
- [The State of Early-Stage Fundraising in 2026](https://www.reachcapital.com/resources/thought-leadership/state-of-fundraising-2026/): Artificial intelligence has created one of the most dynamic fundraising environments the venture industry has seen in decades. It has also introduced real uncertainty: concerns around disruption to existing industries and SaaS categories, and hard questions about defensibility. And what about the companies that are not “AI-native?”
- [Why We Invested in Journify Learning](https://www.reachcapital.com/resources/news/why-we-invested-in-journify-learning/): Mara and Sagar are the co-founders of Journify Learning, an evidence-based AI assistant for special education that automates paperwork, integrates with all support providers, and simplifies compliance efforts. We are pleased to lead Journify’s seed round, alongside Charter School Growth Fund.
- [Announcing Cobalt Collective](https://www.reachcapital.com/resources/news/announcing-cobalt-collective/): Reach is launching a new nonprofit today called The Cobalt Collective, and we’re excited to introduce our Founding Executive Director Clark McKown.

- [What It Takes to Be a Brilliant Engineer with Jared Silver](https://www.reachcapital.com/resources/thought-leadership/what-it-takes-to-be-a-brilliant-engineer-with-jared-silver/): Today he leads engineering at Brilliant, an interactive STEM learning platform with over 10 million users and he regularly hires engineering talent. In this interview, he shares what got him in the door, what opens doors for engineers today, and why he thinks early-career builders have more leverage right now than they realize.
- [Rick Majzun Joins Reach Capital as a Healthcare Advisor](https://www.reachcapital.com/resources/news/rick-majzun-joins-as-a-healthcare-advisor/): Many of the healthcare entrepreneurs we chat with these days are building tools for health systems. Rick Majzun has spent 30 years running them. His experience and perspectives are not something one can build from the outside or overnight, and they make him an invaluable thought partner for Reach Capital as we invest in founders working to innovate how health systems operate.
- [The Financial Infrastructure for School Choice: Why We Invested in Pathfinder](https://www.reachcapital.com/resources/thought-leadership/why-we-invested-pathfinder/): This gap represents a massive opportunity: to build modern financial and marketplace infrastructure that actually works for families and, in doing so, unlocks better alternative educational outcomes at scale. That is why we are thrilled to co-lead Pathfinder’s $4 million Seed round with Gradient Ventures. 
- [Designing the Future With Replit Co-Founder Haya Odeh](https://www.reachcapital.com/resources/thought-leadership/design-replit-haya-odeh/): Growing up in Jordan, Haya Odeh loved colors. She has vivid memories of coloring and shapes as a child. Today, she’s the co-founder and VP of Design at Replit, one of the world’s most widely used platforms for software creation, with over 50 million users and five million apps created.
- [The Vitality Stack: Where We’re Investing to Power Health and Purpose](https://www.reachcapital.com/resources/thought-leadership/vitality-stack-investing-to-power-health-purpose/): Healthcare has become obsessed with “longevity.” It refers to how long people live, with a focus on extending lives while maintaining a certain quality of health.
- [Welcoming Our Newest Healthcare Advisor: Prakash Patel](https://www.reachcapital.com/resources/news/healthcare-advisor-prakash-patel/): As we invest in the next frontier of healthcare, we continue to seek advisors who bring hard-won, frontline experience navigating the most complex corners of the care industry. That's why we’re thrilled to welcome Prakash Patel, MD as our newest healthcare advisor.
- [Aprende’s User Stories on Despierta America](https://www.reachcapital.com/resources/news/historias-de-aprende-en-despierta-america/)
- [Fortune 500 Powers for Main Street: How AI is Unlocking the SMB Economy](https://www.reachcapital.com/resources/thought-leadership/ai-smb-economy/): That’s a question that founders building for small businesses (SMB) hear all the time. (The typical answer: no.) It’s usually framed as a unit economics critique: small deals, fragmented customers, messy distribution. And if we assume the market is limited to “pizzerias that already buy software,” the skepticism makes sense.
- [Making Hormone Intelligence Visible: Why We Invested in Clair](https://www.reachcapital.com/resources/news/hormone-intelligence-made-visible-why-we-invested-in-clair-health/): Last year, I started taking my fertility more seriously and I went to see a reproductive endocrinologist. Before long, I found myself on Amazon buying basal thermometers and ovulation sticks, while also making frequent trips back to the clinic for blood draws—just to understand what my hormones and reproductive cycle were doing. The process felt so analog and opaque. 
- [Revisiting 5 Stats That Are Testing Our Social Institutions — and Shaping Where We Invest](https://www.reachcapital.com/resources/thought-leadership/revisiting-5-stats-shaping-where-we-invest/): I’m revisiting the “5 Stats Shaping My Investment Theses” that I wrote about three years ago, in January 2023. While the pandemic is over, we have not returned to “normal.”
- [Your Voice May Be the Most Scalable Health Sensor Yet](https://www.reachcapital.com/resources/thought-leadership/voice-digital-health-sensor/): Last year, I felt really sick. I was incredibly fatigued and struggled to stand for more than 30 minutes at a time. But my Whoop recovery score and lab tests all indicated that I was “normal.” While my physiological health indicators suggested I was fine, anyone who I spoke to could tell there was something wrong. There was a change in my voice that signaled something off that eluded my body metrics, which led me to explore whether there was some clinical value hidden in my voice itself.  
- [Fixing Publishing for the AI Era: Why We Invested in Cashmere](https://www.reachcapital.com/resources/news/fixing-publishing-ai-why-we-invested-in-cashmere/): The publishing industry is undergoing a massive shift as generative AI transforms information consumption, with users increasingly seeking direct answers to their questions rather than links and full publications. This shift has been great for end users but devastating for publishers. Traffic is collapsing, legacy licensing models don’t map to AI-native workflows, and much of the world’s most valuable written knowledge is being absorbed into large language models without clear control, attribution, or compensation — eroding the incentives to create future knowledge.
- [Within Reach: 2026’s Breakthrough Ideas in Learning](https://www.reachcapital.com/resources/thought-leadership/2026-big-ideas-learning-ai/): AI has arrived in classrooms faster than any technology before it, and while early gains have focused on efficiency, the opportunity is much deeper. The real promise isn’t about doing school faster or cheaper; it’s about rethinking what learning is, who it serves, and how human potential is developed in today’s world.
- [Within Reach: 2026’s Breakthrough Ideas in Work AI](https://www.reachcapital.com/resources/thought-leadership/2026-big-ideas-work-ai/): Even as AI delivers unprecedented gains in productivity, its real promise isn’t just about doing things faster and cheaper. It’s about reshaping work to be more human, purposeful and rewarding.
- [Within Reach: 2026’s Breakthrough Ideas in Health](https://www.reachcapital.com/resources/thought-leadership/2026-big-ideas-health/): Today, no technology is moving faster or unlocking more possibilities than AI. We’re seeing healthcare startups scale at unprecedented speed with smaller teams, overturning long-held assumptions about what it takes to build enduring companies.
- [Accelerating Life Sciences Breakthroughs: Why We Invested in Manifold](https://www.reachcapital.com/resources/news/accelerating-life-sciences-breakthroughs-why-we-invested-in-manifold/): Life sciences is at a moment of extraordinary potential. Genomics, imaging, multimodal data, and AI-powered modeling are reshaping what researchers can see and understand. Yet the speed at which new insights translate into breakthroughs has not kept pace with the growing amount of information available. In fact, Eroom’s Law (the inverse of Moore’s law) has shown that the cost of producing a new drug is increasing as technology has advanced.
- [Reach Capital’s First Healthcare Impact Report](https://www.reachcapital.com/resources/thought-leadership/healthcare-impact-report/): The healthcare system is at a breaking point. Rising costs and staffing shortages are straining its capacity to deliver high-quality, timely care, and exhausting providers. Meanwhile, patients demand better experiences, on par with what they expect from consumer services and conveniences. Growing volumes of data from hospitals and personal devices offer unprecedented opportunities to improve care, yet much of it remains siloed and unused.
- [A Decade of Reach, A New Look for What’s Next](https://www.reachcapital.com/resources/news/a-decade-of-reach-a-new-look-for-whats-next/): Reach was founded in 2015 on the belief that technology can help people live better lives. From a child’s first moments, through education and healthcare, to work and opportunities that support economic mobility and well-being, our investments focus on elevating human potential and igniting purpose. When people are equipped to grow their skills, nurture relationships, stay healthy, and find meaning in what they do, communities thrive.
- [How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Vibe Writing](https://www.reachcapital.com/resources/thought-leadership/how-i-learned-to-stop-worrying-and-love-vibe-writing/): When it comes to AI and writing — really, with most things AI — I find myself oscillating between fright and delight.
- [Shrinking Our Pill Box: The Health Revolution in Smarter Supplements, Foods and Deprescribing](https://www.reachcapital.com/resources/thought-leadership/shrinking-our-pill-box-the-health-revolution-in-smarter-supplements-foods-and-deprescribing/): My mornings follow a familiar script: Wake up. Work out. An immunity shot, and a balanced breakfast. Then before I even open my laptop, I line up my pill box:
- [School AI Policies Mask a Bigger Question: What Is the Purpose of Schools Today?](https://www.reachcapital.com/resources/thought-leadership/school-ai-policies-mask-a-bigger-question-what-is-the-purpose-of-schools-today/): As the school year begins, educators and administrators face the daunting challenge of developing AI use policies. Teachers report varying levels of AI literacy and usage, as students actively push the boundaries of what assignments and tests AI can do for them. Meanwhile, the technology is evolving so rapidly that new policies become outdated soon after committee approval. 
- [ASU President Michael Crow’s Path to Building the ‘New American University’](https://www.reachcapital.com/resources/insights/asu-president-michael-crows-path-to-building-the-new-american-university/): But neither is its President, Michael Crow. A former D-1 javelin thrower, Crow has long aimed to redefine what a public research university can be, and who it can serve. He has spent two decades challenging some of higher education’s most sacred cows: that excellence requires exclusivity, that research universities must choose between access and impact, that tradition and innovation can’t coexist. Under his leadership, ASU has become one of America’s most expansive institutions and its largest by enrollment.
- [AI’s Gray Area Problem and Golden Opportunity](https://www.reachcapital.com/resources/thought-leadership/ais-gray-area-problem-and-golden-opportunity/): In the first, there are the “easy” ones where off-the-shelf models like GPT-4 or Claude work well: general assistance, basic research, brainstorming, content generation, casual conversation. In the second are the “hard” use cases where it’s widely accepted that these models fall short: medical diagnostics, legal analysis, financial modeling, scientific research. For these specialties, the industry has coalesced around the understanding that specialized training is required: fine-tuning, reinforcement learning, or even building domain-specific foundation models from scratch.
