I used to report on data interoperability, the plumbing that makes digital learning possible. Certainly not the sexiest or easiest topic to write about! But it’s such an important piece of the infrastructure that makes #edtech possible. Now I’m investing in it! Reach Capital is excited to back Mick Hewitt Doug Weber and the team at Ednition as they unlock data flows for every part of the learning experience: from rostering to attendance, assessment, scheduling, interventions and more. We’re also thrilled to be joined by our friends at GSV Ventures Avalanche VC Long Term Impact Seamless, secure data flow in the edtech ecosystem is a precondition for AI to move from experimental and theoretical to truly transformational, especially as data demands and volume only grow.

Earlier this week, I had the opportunity to speak at the Start2 Group x German Accelerator event, introducing the concept of Investor Empathy.
