The Rethinking Education Sessions
Welcome to The Rethinking Education Sessions, the all things education podcast brought to you by Rethink Education, an edtech-focused venture capital firm. Through conversations with entrepreneurs, educators, and investors, we will explore the past, present, and future of education. Our investment thesis drives us to find entrepreneurs creating new ways of teaching, learning, and supporting students. We strive to help vulnerable and disadvantaged learners reach their potential. We strive to transform and improve the way everyone learns and works, everywhere. And we try to make our portfolio and our ecosystem more diverse and more inclusive. This podcast will explore what a more effective, equitable, and innovative education system looks like and how we get there.
