Why We Invested
Early childhood education is critical for the success of our youngest learners, but educators struggle to find high-quality curriculum, entrepreneurs are challenged by the highly fragmented market and many stakeholders have little information on the current state and potential of technology in early childhood centers. NewSchools Venture Fund has been at the center of K-12 innovation in the US for the past twenty years. Through the Ignite Early Learning Challenge, NSVF offered an opportunity for the most promising companies and nonprofit organizations working in the early childhood space to learn, connect and grow together.
It’s time to reimagine learning so it meets the needs of every student and prepares them for today’s world and the future they will live and lead in.
