Funds editor Harriet Matthews speaks to William Barrett, co-founder and managing partner at private capital adviser Reach Capital, about the changing private capital advisory market, how the firm is advising its private equity (PE) clients to navigate primary and secondary fundraises in the current market, and what's next for the independent placement agent.Investment banks have been building up their private fund advisory capabilities in recent years via consolidation, with notable recent deals including Houlihan Lokey's acquisition of Triago. They have also hired staff and even engaged in joint ventures with specialised firms to offer fundraising or secondaries advice to their clients.Against this backdrop, and as an independent private capital advisor, Barrett discusses how Reach Capital has continued to develop its service offering, including the addition of private wealth capabilities. He also shares insights into how Reach Capital approaches taking on primary and secondary capital raising mandates.Given the challenging fundraising market, there are certain steps that GPs can undertake to pave the way for a successful fundraise, according to Barrett. This includes knowing your client, including the context they are operating in and the other types of investment opportunities that might be on the table for them.Lastly, Barrett shares his outlook for the primary PE fundraising market and how this will develop in the coming months, and discusses how Reach Capital is planning to continue to grow its service offering and the technology and data that supports it.Introduction – 0:42Interview with William Barrett, Reach Capital – 2:19Current state and evolution of the private capital advisory market – 2:27Adapting to the needs of GP clients – 5:24Getting comfortable with taking on primary mandates – 10:00Taking on secondary mandates: comfort and transparency – 12:39Advice to GPs: speak to your clients, prepare, and tailor your LP pitches – 16:07The outlook for primary private equity fundraising – 22:07What's next for Reach Capital? – 24:38You can listen to the podcast on your favourite podcasting platforms, including Spotify and Apple Podcasts.If you would like to hear more podcasts produced by ION Analytics, you can access the ION Analytics channel on Apple Podcasts.Theme music: ©2012 Kick Up The Fire

In der Rubrik “Investments & Exits” begrüßen wir heute Katharina Neuhaus, Principal bei Vorwerk Ventures. Katharina bespricht die Finanzierungsrunden von Preply und Circus. Das ukrainische Unternehmen Preply hat in seiner Series C Finanzierungsrunde zusätzliche 70 Mio. US-Dollar aufgebracht, wobei der größte Teil von Horizon Capital kam und Reach Capital, Hoxton Ventures sowie andere bestehende Investoren beteiligt waren. Preply plant, die KI-Technologie für Tutoren einzusetzen und seine Position als führendes Unternehmen im Bereich Live-Sprachenlernen auszubauen. Preply wurde im Jahr 2012 von Dmytro Voloshyn, Kirill Bigai und Serge Lukianov in Kiew gegründet. Der Hamburger Food-Lieferdienst CIRCUS hat in einer Finanzierungsrunde 5,5 Millionen Euro erhalten, mit Beteiligung von Investoren wie BlackMars Capital GmbH und 2bX. Circus ermöglicht es über eine App, frisch zubereitete Speisen zu bestellen, und plant nun eine Expansion auf mehrere Standorte. Das Startup wurde 2021 von Helge Plehn, Carsten Wille und Nikolas Bullwinkel gegründet. Nikolas hat bereits Erfahrung in der Food-Startupszene gesammelt, unter anderem mit dem Lebensmittel-Lieferdienst Pickery, das später von Flink übernommen wurde.

Tony Wan is the Head of Platform for Reach Capital. He is also one of the CoFounders of EdSurge. He rejoins host Mike Palmer in a conversation about what it's like to write and think about venture capital in Ed Tech at a time when AI is everywhere. We begin by hearing Tony's thoughts on writing while experimenting with GPT where he was able to train a bot to write like him. What does this mean for writing? Is it about the product or the process? From there, we explore his latest article exploring the cooling of EdTech investment in the first half of 2023. What's driving these trends and how does it relate to AI, Web 3, and AR/VR? Tony highlights two Ed Tech companies that are catching his eye and we conclude with his thoughts on how AI might be able to help solve big problems around durable skills and well-being. As we provide some perspective about the future of work, Tony suggests we check out Benedict Evans' article on the automation of work.

Tony Wan is no stranger to the Voices of e-Learning podcast. This episode marked Wan's third appearance. People may know Wan from his days as Managing Editor at EdSurge, but Wan has a new role as Head of Investor Content at Reach Capital. And that role shares competition with some other self-identifiers as Wan considers himself a runner, a gamer, a writer, and a first-time father as of five months ago.Wan loves that he gets to write about what's going on in the EdTech space. And Wan's latest report, U.S. Edtech's Roaring 20's Begin with $8.2 Billion Invested in 2021, was a great starting point for his latest conversation with JW Marshall.When Wan began writing about EdTech, he remembers the excitement when the market hit $1 billion in investments. And 2020's reach of $2 billion now seems like a distant memory. “When I looked at the numbers last year, in 2021, It quadrupled to $8.2 billion,” Wan said. “This is just U.S. EdTech, and this is primarily for companies serving pre-k, k-12, higher education, and the workforce.”While $8.2 billion is nothing to sneeze at, Wan said that number still represents only a small percentage of investment capital raised in the U.S. each year. And the lion's share, roughly 70% of the EdTech investments, went to the top 20-21 deals. “And when you take a look at the 21 biggest deals of 2021, they pretty much span across the board from k-12 to higher ed, and the workforce and consumer,” Wan said. “And in corporate training, the biggest deal went to a company called Articulate.”The good news for the k-12 space, which Wan said does not always see its fair share of investment opportunities, is that the pandemic may have spurred more interest and activity in this sector. And Wan believes interest in technology investments into this area should continue beyond the pandemic.

Another selection of the best How to be the Difference podcast momentsIn this episode of How to be the Difference, hosts Johanna Molina and Paul Lynskey selected another 7 clips of the most interesting and exciting interviews that were presented this last season. In this special edition, insights were included from experts working in very different industries and sectors: from venture capital and financial development to podcasting and leadership.As a first selection, we revisited the conversation with Dr. Mandeep Rai, an international best-selling author that wrote The Values Compass: What 101 Countries Teach Us About Purpose, Life, and Leadership. Mandeep has an impressive track record having traveled to more than 150 countries, completed a PhD in Global Values, built a career at JP Morgan, and reported as a journalist for BBC World Service and Reuters. She does a deep dive on how she became a global authority on values, and on how to create your own personal values compass.Secondly, the podcast hosts selected the interview with Andres Barreto, a serial entrepreneur, investor and the Managing Director of Techstars Boulder Accelerator Program. In this conversation, Andrés shared with us his first entrepreneurial endeavors and what it was like being a minority founder in the US. Andres also discusses the reason behind starting Coderise, non-profit organization that teaches code in an inclusive environment and the power of mentorships.On the third place, we go back to Eder Holguin's interview, where he talks about how his perspective on success changed as he got older and why he considers himself a professional problem solver. Eder is an award-winning serial entrepreneur, best-selling author, and a digital sales and marketing expert in the US. He also shares with us the basic principles of marketing and sales and how certain skills were vital to helping him move forward in life. Next, we revisited the conversation with Irene Arias Hofman, CEO of IDB Lab, to talk about her +25 years of experience working for multilateral organizations–including 20 years at the World Bank Group. Irene talks about how, having been exposed to different realities and cultures from a young age, she always knew she wanted to pursue a career in which she would be making a social impact. That's how she found her calling working for organizations that focused on promoting financial development in emerging markets through tech innovation. She also believes that the private and public sectors can work together to foster disruptive innovation with the right foundation.Fifth comes the episode where the podcast hosts sat down with Robbie J. Frye, a self-proclaimed professional inceptionist and host of The Frye Show podcast. Johanna and Paul talked to Robbie about the lessons he's learned from his varied work experiences, and how after moving to Colombia in 2012, Robbie immersed himself in the local creativity and innovation space and eventually launched The Frye Show podcast where he has engaging conversations about creativity, innovation, design, productivity, and success with incredible guests. Robbie also gives us a lesson on how to implement innovation and creativity into your life.Then, we revisited the interview with David Reimer, CEO of the ExCo Group (formerly Merryck & Co), a global firm of experienced CEOs, independent directors, and global business leaders providing C-suite mentoring for organizations. Johanna and Paul talk to David about what it means to step forward as a leader during times of crisis and what he thinks we should look for in a mentor. And last, we selected the best clips from Enzo Cavalie's interview. Enzo works as an Investment Associate at Reach Capital, a venture capital firm that invests in early-stage tech tools, applications, content, and services to improve access to educational opportunities. He is also the founder and editor of Startupeable, a platform dedicated to creating educational content in Spanish about startups and venture capital in Latin America.

SummaryOur guest today is Jennifer Carolan. Jennifer started her career as a classroom teacher in a Chicago district. She then moved to California to attend Stanford, and there got inspired to use her teaching experience in support od tech founders. So she joined NewSchools Venture Fund where she learned the craft of VC, while also co-creating and teaching a course at Stanford. After that, Jennifer co-founded Reach Capital, with a first fund in 2000, a second fund in 2018 and a third fund more recently.In this episode, Jennifer and I talk about how student engagement is an outcome of strong pedagogy. We then describe a new generation of global education companies that are partnering with school districts and we caution policy makers that need to rise to the occasion in order to keep innovation from escaping the public school system. Finally we talk about different promising edtech categories and end up with the conclusion that parents are the stakeholders that still lack a lot of support in the ecosystem.Here are some resources mentioned in our discussion: A tweet by Jennifer encapsulating her belief in pedagogy-led edtech startupshttps://twitter.com/jencarolan/status/1402677758820438018Our conversation with Amir from Outschool - https://blog.enrollhand.com/learning-is-more-than-a-consumer-experience-with-amir-nathoo/Jennifer's hopeful piece on EdSurge serving as a call to action for policy makers - https://www.edsurge.com/news/2020-08-23-teachers-drive-innovation-this-time-will-they-do-so-within-or-outside-the-systemJennifer's tweet highlighting the increased collaboration between school districts and startupshttps://twitter.com/jencarolan/status/1422648800192122886The Chart of the Century - https://twitter.com/Mark_J_Perry/status/1350826322642296835Reach Capital's companies, including the ones mentioned in our discussion - https://www.reachcapital.com/companies/Harari's book mentioned by Jennifer as a good depiction of the new age we need to prepare students for - https://www.ynharari.com/book/21-lessons-book/A particular mention of Guardians Collective, mentionned by Jennifer as an interesting model to support parents - https://www.aboutgc.comWhere to learn more about Jennifer:Twitter - https://twitter.com/jencarolanWebsite - https://www.reachcapital.comWhere to learn more about Enrollhand: Website - www.enrollhand.comWebinar - https://webinar-replay.enrollhand.com

Every six months or so, we host Tony Wan, Co-Founder, and former Managing Editor at EdSurge, and current Head of Investor Content at Reach Capital, to discuss the state of EdTech Investment. Wan last chatted with Voices of eLearning Host JW Marshall in January when they talked about the $2.2 billion raised in 2020.During the spring, Wan transitioned from running EdSurge to his current role at Reach Capital, a venture capital firm that focuses on early-stage education technology investments. Wan knew the partners before making the transition, and he knew he wanted to cover investments and get back into the entrepreneurial side of things. Under his new role, he will research and write information focused on investor content, which is similar to what he was writing. Now, though, he will be making the news and not just covering it.“As the industry evolves, I'm really surprised at how many new things I'm learning about different kinds of markets where there's certainly an education or learning component to it." - Tony WanAfter talking about Wan's move, they dug into investment in EdTech. He noted that while most think of EdTech as exclusive to K-12, post-secondary, and early childhood, the industry has a lot more breadth. The EdTech space often intersects and merges with other industries, such as family tech, mental health, and physical health.“As the industry evolves, I'm really surprised at how many new things I'm learning about different kinds of markets where there's certainly an education or learning component to it,” Wan said before digging into the deals currently happening in the market.In his most recent piece, he noted the pace and flurry of the deals happening as investment capital hit $3.2 billion in the first half of 2021. Current deals he covered include the recent filing for an IPO by Duolingo. Publicly-traded company 2U, a company that provides short courses, boot camps, and online programs from universities, acquired EdX for $800 million. The largest investment so far in 2021 went to Kajabi, who raised $550 million.

Hello and welcome back to Equity, TechCrunch’s venture capital-focused podcast, where we unpack the numbers behind the headlines.The whole team was aboard for this recording, with Grace and Chris behind the scenes, and Danny, Alex, and Natasha on the mics. We had to cut more than we included this week, which should give you a good idea of how busy the startup and VC worlds are of late.Make sure that you are following the podcast on Twitter, where we post all sorts of memes and cuts and, perhaps, the occasional video here and there. That aside, here's the rundown:Investing legend David Swenson passed away.Twitter is buying Scroll (neat, very cool) as part of its subscription push, but also killing Nuzzel in the process (bad, very uncool). Natasha and Danny fill us in on why Nuzzel will be missed. Alex has thoughts on why Twitter-Scroll is good.Epic bought ArtStation and cut its marketplace take rate. This is the future, says Danny, who throws his own estimates in, too.Sony and Discord are tying up after the Microsoft-Discord deal fell apart.Edtech is doing the edtech thing in which it raises money and consolidates, as shown by Kahoot's latest scoop.A friend of the pod, Jomayra Herrera, is joining Reach Capital as its first ever outside-partner hire.Uber is teaming up with Arrival for ride-hailing designed electric vehicles. We're pretty bullish on the idea. Also Alex likes to say "microfactories."IVF startups are raising venture capital, and this time its Alife Health that we're talking about. WorkBoard raised again. Alex once again made us talk about OKR-focused startups. He needs to get a life, and so does the rest of the Equity team which fought to do the transition into this segment.To end, we spoke about Leda Health, a new startup focused on at-home rape kits for sexual assault survivors. It's a controversial company, and we discuss critiques and opportunities,And that's our show! No private equity deal can slow the Equity team down, so we'll see you Monday!

I first met Shawn Carolan and his wife Jennifer at the turn of the century at 11,000 feet. I was hiking with my kids between the Yosemite High Sierra camps. Having just retired from a career as an entrepreneur I had started thinking about why startups were different from large companies. The ideas were bouncing around my head so hard that I shared them with these strangers around a campfire, drawing out the four steps with a stick in the dirt. Shawn immediately said the name I had given the four steps was confusing – I had called it market development – he suggested that I call it Customer Development – and the name stuck. What I didn’t realize was that both were graduate students at Stanford and later both would become great VCs – Shawn at Menlo Ventures and Jennifer at Reach Capital. (And Jennifer is now my co-instructor in the Stanford Lean LaunchPad class.)

How did you choose which path to follow? What was your approach to selecting the right investors? You raised your Series B last summer, despite social distancing.

How did you develop your leadership style as a young entrepreneur? What advice would you offer others? Why You Started Springboard, Early Growth Your Funding Path/Leadership: What's Next? Your goal is to educate 1m people in 10 years. How will you get there? (both internal and external drivers).  How will university partnerships play a role? Building a network of mentors is core to Springboard. Are there other models that you look to in benchmarking this program going forward (consulting, university professors, Backroads travel company, etc.)? How will student placement change? Will you link content and projects to more tailored placement (eg did well in this facet of data science as such marketing attribution would be a great career) Do you have an exit strategy?

She also explained how a DIY, freelance designer and design firm approach differs in building a website.According to Marcy, clients are often worried about getting all the content ready for a website redesign project (it's a lot of work, usually). She helps them to prioritize based on what we need to keep the design process moving forward, and provides templates and schedules to help keep them on track.When clients often give her direction to change something on a website, such as, "make the button larger". She would always ask them what is the problem they're trying to solve. Most of them are relieved to learn that if they just tell her the problem they see, she can come up with cost-effective, user-friendly ways to solve them and they don't have to try to figure it out.Lastly, clients aren't sure what a website should cost and so list all kinds of features and requirements for their site. She helps them again to prioritize what's really necessary based on their internal strategic goals as well as user goals and objectives (often by doing user research or testing). This also takes stakeholder personal opinions out of the equation, making for a smooth process.

It's been a year since kids across the country left their classrooms and started learning from home. Many students find the virtual classroom a poor substitute for the real thing. And far too many families aren't properly equipped for remote learning, which only exacerbates the persistent social and racial inequities in education. Still, the pandemic is ushering in a new reliance on technology in education - and investors are betting tech only becomes more integral to the classroom.   On today's Brainstorm, hosts Michal Lev-Ram and Brian O'Keefe discuss the growth of education technology, and ask how well it works. Hardeep Gulati, CEO of PowerSchool, explains that the company's end-to-end platform serves not just students and teachers, but parents and administrators as well.   James Kim, a partner at Reach Capital – a venture capital firm focused on education – tells us about some of the innovations he's seeing from ed-tech startups.  Finally, Ellen Meier and Karen Kirsch Page of Teachers College Columbia University discuss the importance using technology to engage students in new ways, and how to best help teachers make the most of digital tools.  

In this fantastic episode of The EdUp Experience, sponsored by Element 451, we talk with Charlie Javice, Founder & CEO, Frank. This episode is action-packed. We discuss the simplification of the FAFSA. It's so much easier now, right? Hear Charlie talk about why completing the FAFSA, even amongst the recent governmental simplification, isn't so simple. Colleges and universities don't measure FAFSA completion times against yield rates, but should. Charlie also talks about loan forgiveness, loan indebtedness, and how Frank is helping to serve underrepresented students in their quest to achieve a college education. Charlie details how providing a student service around financial aid benefits schools, and most importantly, the students that need the white glove treatment. Charlie Javice, is the founder of New York-based college aid advocacy, Frank. Javice estimates her company has helped more than 300,000 students get $7 billion in financial aid over the past two years. In 2017, Charlie raised a total of $15.7 million, the largest venture round for a female founder that year. Her investors included U.S.-Israeli investment fund Aleph Venture Capital (which previously invested in WeWork and insurance start-up Lemonade), Reach Capital, former Uber advocate Bradley Tusk's Tusk Ventures, and Slow Ventures. Marc Rowan, the co-founder of Apollo Global Management, one of the largest private equity firms in the world, led the most recent investment.

I met with Esteban Sosnik of Reach Capital in his San Francisco office. We talked about his background in making games and why it is exteremly difficult to make successful educational games. Also, we touched on the future of the educational technology market and why Esteban believes that it will become more attractive for entrepreneurs and investors alike. Esteban is a partner at Reach Capital a VC firm that invests in EdTech companies such as ClassDojo, Nearpod and Replit.

Esteban Sosnik es Socio General de Reach Capital, un fondo de capital de riesgo enfocado en la intersección entre la tecnología y la educación. Esteban fue Co-Fundador de Wanako Games adquirida por Vivendi Games. Luego fue Co-Fundador de Atakama Labs, otra empresa de videojuegos que también fue adquirida por DeNA.

                            En Silicon Valley, siempre se habla de la Mafia de PayPal: El grupo de gente que estuvo en esa empresa al inicio y luego fundó y fondeó decenas de otras startups tecnológicas. Si en América Latina tenemos algo similar, el argentino Esteban Sosnik fue uno de los primeros mafiosos. A inicios de siglo, dirigió uno de los primeros fondos de capital semilla para startups, Penguin Holdings, lanzado por Wenceslao Casares y otros miembros de la primera generación de emprendedores puntocom exitosos en Argentina y Sudamérica. Luego, con Casares como aliado y con su socio Tiburcio de la Cárcova, creó dos empresas pioneras de la industria de videojuegos, Wanako Games y Atakama Labs. Las dos se vendieron con ganancias para inversionistas y fundadores. Ahora, Esteban vuelve a ser inversionista en Reach Capital, un fondo de tecnología educativa que, además de hacer dinero, intenta traer más diversidad racial y de género a Silicon Valley. Pero él lo ve como un emprendimiento más en su carrera. Lo suyo, dice, es lanzar cosas y “hacer camino al andar”. “Los emprendedores, los fundadores, nacemos para esto (porque) somos medio inempleables”. Hoy Esteban nos cuenta: por qué lleva dos décadas apostando al talento latinoamericano para ganar mercados globales qué busca en los emprendedores a los que decide apoyar y qué encuentra en aquéllos a con los que no quiere asociarse cómo los prejuicios raciales y de género pueden hacer que Silicon Valley se pierda la próxima gran ola de innovación y mucho más… LINKS Esteban Sosnik: LinkedIn | Twitter Reach Capital: Sitio | Twitter | LinkedIn | Medium ¡NECESITAMOS CRECER!

Terri and her producer Jacqueline sit down over some champagne to talk about how she made her first angel investment in MyHealthTeams and realized after her second, third and fourth investments (Sandstone Diagnostics, Zum and TomboyX) that her investment thesis was to invest in companies with products or services that improve people’s lives. Now she is focused exclusively on digital health which is a narrowing of her original thesis.   Show Highlights Terri makes the intro as to the topic and why this week she is talking about her angel investments Terri is going to be on a medtech angels panel at RESI in San Francisco this week and will be focused on her investment interest area of digital health while the other panelists will most likely be focused on Terri talks about the need to leverage data and technology to flip healthcare on its head and put information in the hands of patients Terri talks about how optimistic she is about Apple’s approach to changing healthcare versus how disappointed she is with Google and Verily and her experience with Project Baseline Terri’s first angel investment was in: MyHealthTeams: social networks for millions of people living with chronic illnesses. They currently have 28 conditions including MS, Lupus, HIV, diabetes, Parkinsons. Female co-founder based in San Francisco. Terri has doubled down on this company in their Series B and Series C raises. Jacqueline asked what an investment thesis is and Terri responded that she sees it as the criteria under which she chooses in her investments. Her investment thesis is to invest in companies that have products or services that improve people’s lives. Terri talks about not actively looking for diverse founding teams but gravitating towards Sandstone Diagnostics: home sperm count device and kit with an application for men to monitor their sperm count from home with guidance for improving the count from the application. The product is Trak and is FDA cleared. Founder was male but they brought in a new CEO, Karen Drexler shortly after Terri’s first investment (she’s tripled down on this one). They are based Livermore, CA. Zum: on demand and scheduled rides and care for kids ages 5 and up. Terri has tripled down on her investment with them. Female CEO and co-founder. If this had existed when her kids were little, her husband could have continued to work. Sequoia led a $5M Series A in early 2017 which is a good signal. Jacqueline asks Terri how she decides to invest in a company. Her response: She listens to her gut It has to be something that the world needs She has to believe the management team is going to take the company far There has to be a big enough market opportunity The company needs to have a big enough opportunity that a VC will invest to help the startup grow It has to make sense and be reasonable and rational She looks for revenue opportunities and the possibility of getting profitable Terri is an EIR (advisor) with Tech Futures Group and sees a lot of people looking for angel investors to invest in their research projects. This doesn’t resonate well with Terri; she needs to be able to see a path to revenue. TomboyX: underwear, swimwear, socks and hats designed for people regardless of where they fit into the size or gender spectrum. Terri knows many women who have been buying men’s underwear that doesn’t quite fit them. The female co-founders saw this as an opportunity and have created a fabulous brand and product. Terri’s daughter and one of Jacqueline’s daughters loves their underwear. Terri has tripled down on this one. They are based in Seattle, WA. Terri loves the brand play and sees them as an early exit to a company like Calvin Klein, Nordstrom, Fruit of the Loom, or Hanes. Terri talks about the shift in demographics and how women would much rather buy, and pay a premium, for products made for them. Jacqueline asked why Terri invested in TomboyX again. Terri continued to believe in what they were doing, was impressed with their growth, and she wanted to continue to support them as they encountered cash crunches due to their growth. Terri is frustrated by the lack of funding opportunities for some of these companies. Terri was asked to contribute an essay for a book that Jenn LeBlanc is writing about supporting female founders. Terri is determined to work with other like-minded women looking to invest in some of the overlooked opportunities by creating a mesh network of investors across the country and around the world. Tactical Haptics: tactical feedback controller, initially for VR. Long term, medical training. All male team based in the San Francisco Bay Area. Terri believes that women need to take bigger financial risks to achieve the rewards that men are able to achieve. Terri was looking at between 250-500 deals a month between January and August 2017 and didn’t feel the need to invest in any of them. Tueo Health: digital health solution to improve the monitoring and management of children’s’ asthma. Female CEO/Co-Founder: Bronwyn Harris…she is totally kick ass. They are based in San Francisco. Terri talked about the importance of having healthcare solutions for kids that make the lives of parents better as most of the impact is on the mom. It’s also important to get ahead of the diseases because they turn into more significant issues when the kids become adults. Magnetic Insight: they are bringing clinical imaging into the 21st century. They do magnetic particle imagining which is a new ultrasensitive high resolution molecular imaging approach that detects nanoparticles in the body over a great length of time. Female CEO and Co-Founder; based in Alameda, CA.   Call to Action Get outside of your comfort zone. Take a risk.

This week, the EdSurge On Air podcast features three "Extra" editions focusing on investors: how they choose what to invest in, where the money is flowing, what personalization in schools means to them, and more. On this episode, we speak to Jennifer Carolan, a former educator who started a vertically-focused seed fund under New School Venture Fund as a non-profit back in early 2010, and has since made more than 15 investments. She talks impact investing, venture capital, and what efficacy really looks like in reality.

Privacy. What a buzzword, but also a major point of contention for the past twelve months. Parents, companies, educators… everyone’s been jumping into the conversation on this topic. The proliferation of education technology has led to many questions about what, and how, student data is collected, analyzed and used. As student privacy and security concerns grow, how do we respond? Last week, EdSurge conducted a panel in partnership with Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe, a global law firm that’s got its eye on the privacy debate. Panelists included Dan Carroll, co-founder of edtech company Clever, and Reach Capital partner Shauntel Poulson. EdSurge CEO Betsy Corcoran dove into how edtech leaders should address privacy issues while still advancing learning opportunities. Do companies need to yield to the demands and whims of privacy critics? Or can we all somehow reach a Kum-ba-ya understanding around the edtech campfire? Listen to the podcast to find out.
