I thought it was hard to find investors interested in healthcare and aging products, but I see not many focused edtech VCs or angels. It is a small tight group of folks.
This pushes me to think that having “edtech” or niche investors may not be the only path. Just having people who believe in your mission or believe in you can be enough to support you in your journey. You don’t need to have specific niche investors aligned with your business. I believe or think these folks provide strategic customers or expertise in the market beyond the capital, but I don’t think it has to be a limiting factor.
My list so far:
- Emerge – Jan Lynn Matern
- Copper Wire Ventures – Jessica Milestone (leads NYC Edtech meetup)
- Reach Capital – Steve Kupfer
