Stand Together Ventures Lab Invests in LearningSpring to Expand Access to School Choice

Stand Together Ventures Lab has invested in LearningSpring, a platform helping families navigate and access school choice with greater clarity.

School choice is no longer a niche policy conversation. Programs like ESAs, vouchers, and scholarships have expanded across 34 states, Washington, D.C., and Puerto Rico. At the same time, 75% of U.S. parents have considered, searched for, or enrolled their child in a different school. The demand is clear. What is less clear for families is how to actually navigate it.

Policy has moved faster than the infrastructure needed to support it.

Today, families often face a fragmented experience. Information is scattered. Eligibility is unclear. Applications are time consuming. Funding pathways are difficult to manage. The result is that access exists in theory, but not always in practice.

LearningSpring is building the infrastructure layer to close that gap.

Their platform brings school discovery, eligibility, enrollment, and funding into one place. Families can explore options across public, charter, private, microschool, and hybrid models, understand what they qualify for, and manage applications and funding through a single system.

For states and scholarship organizations, LearningSpring simplifies what has historically been a complex administrative burden. The platform enables application management, fund distribution, donor visibility, and compliance reporting in a way that is structured, transparent, and scalable.

“LearningSpring is building the infrastructure that turns school choice policy into a real, accessible experience for families,” said Jonathan Jou. “Their track record and the momentum behind school choice nationally make this exactly the kind of investment we back.”

For Cecilia Retelle Zywicki, the problem is personal.

“As a mom, I have experienced how confusing school choice can be when families are left to navigate policy on their own. Families are our north star. School choice should mean clarity, not confusion.”

This investment reflects a broader belief at Stand Together Ventures Lab. Improving outcomes for every child requires moving beyond a one size fits all system toward learning that is tailored to each student’s unique needs, interests, and potential.

LearningSpring is part of a growing set of companies building toward that future by making choice not just available, but usable.
