Congratulations to our incredible partner Emerge on Fund II. Here’s to redefining learning together!
🚀 Beyond excited to announce Emerge’s $73M oversubscribed fund II – the first cheque for founders building the future of work and learning! 💰 Our new fund is backed by 100+ of the industry’s top founders and C-level executives – who’ve joined us as Venture Partners to support our portfolio companies with their unrivalled market knowledge – as well as major institutional investors like KfW Capital. 💖 This new funding and our Venture Partner community enables us to support early stage founders in three key ways: 🤜 1. Big, early bets - we’ll invest $500k-$2.5m at the early stage, including in pre-revenue, pre-product companies. So you can stop fundraising and get back to building. 🧠 2. World-class support - we’ll match you with senior angel co-investors and advisors from industry-leading companies and Fortune 500s. So you have access to cutting-edge tactics and market intel. 🏄♀️ 3. In your corner when you raise - we’ll move mountains to make your next raise a huge success. So you work with the best possible Series A partners for your business. 🤖 The world of work is transforming, fast. It’s a fact that those who don't adapt to this new AI-driven reality will be left behind — and what worries us is that people don’t have access to the tools, skills and confidence they need to do so. 🦸♂️ That’s why we’re investing in companies that empower people to Learn, Navigate and Work. They revolutionise access to learning (Solvely Labs, MyEdSpace, Algor) and level the playing field for kids (Yoto, Edurino | We are hiring!, KARRI), help people navigate their careers (Popp AI), and empower them to use AI at work (Colossyan, Mendo). 🙏 We’re enormously proud to have pioneered our unique approach to early stage investing and are deeply grateful for the support of our LPs and Venture Partners for helping bring it to life. ❤️🔥 And to our portfolio founders: We’re honoured to support your on your mission!
