The EdTech Fund believes education technology is at an inflection point where schools are rapidly adopting digital solutions after years of false starts. They position themselves as deeply knowledgeable investors who understand education’s unique market dynamics, contrasting themselves with both traditional VCs who avoid early-stage deals and angel investors who lack education industry expertise. Their approach combines financial investment with hands-on operational support, leveraging their network to reduce risk and improve outcomes for portfolio companies.
What Sets Them Apart
- Seed-stage focus when Series A and later is crowded with inflated valuations
- Deep education industry expertise from team with McGraw-Hill, NASA, and NYC DOE backgrounds
- Hands-on support including school network access, business strategy, hiring, product development, and introductions to senior publishing/financial services executives
- Proving out business models with feedback from schools and teachers to reduce investment risk before scaling
- Willingness to invest in companies with 'a great idea, but no revenue yet' - differentiating from traditional VCs
- Impact investing model combining financial returns with education system improvement
- No finder fees or profit share charged to co-investors
