Reach Capital

As with building a great company, impact at scale does not happen overnight. It’s an ongoing process, one that can be intentional and measurable. We help companies monitor and increase their impact along three dimensions: Access Reducing barriers to learning, so opportunity is within reach for all learners, particularly underserved populations and marginalized communities. Scale Impacting as many learners and teachers as possible wherever they might be - in schools, at home, at work and everywhere else. Quality Ensuring solutions are rooted in evidence, involve experts in the design process, are beloved by users, and deliver the outcomes they promise. Diversity Delivers We believe that the funders and builders of solutions should reflect the diversity of communities they serve. Our portfolio is evidence that diverse teams generate greater impact and stronger financial outcomes. To date, Reach has proportionally invested more dollars in diverse founders than industry averages. Investments in companies with diverse founding teams perform better.
