Diverse Leaders

Overview

<p>We invest in entrepreneurs with ambitious ideas focused on advancing Black and Latino leadership in education. We are open to a broad range of approaches, including efforts to recruit, place, develop and retain diverse leaders in a range of education roles. And we are interested in ideas that will have field-level impact over time.<br>While we prioritize investing in early-stage ventures (0 to 2 years of development), we will also consider investing in new initiatives at existing organizations. In addition, all ventures must align with NewSchools’ overarching investment criteria.<br>Given our strategic focus, we especially encourage Black and Latino entrepreneurs to participate in our funding opportunities.<br>Our long-term goal is to have a catalytic impact on student success nationally, so we focus on ventures with aspirations to expand their impact significantly over time by growing their organizations and/or influencing the work of others.</p>
