At the 2023 ASU+GSV Summit, our Founder and Managing Partner, Adam Newman, hosted a discussion on on microschools and parent power in K-12 education. He was accompanied by Odyssey CEO & Founder Joseph Connor, The Oakland REACH CEO Lakisha Young, VELA Education Fund CEO Meredith Olson, Prenda Founder & CEO Kelly Smith, and Avalanche VC Managing Director Katelyn Donnelly.

From blended learning models to micro schools and enrichment services, the field has never been as ripe for innovation as it is now.
