27V

Access to relevant education and fulfilling work can shape a person’s opportunities, yet education and labor systems often fail to keep pace with people’s needs. 27V backs thoughtful founders building the future of learning and labor, the areas it describes as EdTech and Future of Work. The firm invests at the pre-seed and seed stages in companies across North America, Europe, and Asia Pacific, excluding India and China.

27V presents itself as more than a source of capital: it aims to create a founder fellowship where founders and early employees can learn from one another and build useful connections. The fund provides an initial investment of US$50,000–$250,000 and may reserve capital for follow-on investment. Its support also includes founder community, introductions, and practical guidance for portfolio companies.
