The education ecosystem is not keeping pace as society transitions from an industrial to knowledge economy. Ecosystem change requires an ecosystem approach that leans on the capabilities of universities, entrepreneurs, companies and the government, working across boundaries to harvest insights and to rapidly distribute successful innovations. Our approach is unlike traditional venture capital, professional services firms or accelerators. We operate as a company builder, where vetted ideas get activated. We develop insights based on our professional services activities, assemble teams to rapidly prototype concepts and test them in the market through trusted relationships generating feedback early and often. We then continue to provide ongoing support and capital through multiple stages of growth. We are a team of passionate academics, technologists, entrepreneurs, and innovators working together to build great education companies.
