Reimagining learning
around students, not systems

Every student learns differently, yet most education systems are built for uniformity. Families are looking for choices that reflect their values, interests, and pace of learning. The problem is not a lack of motivation or talent, but a lack of  supply and accessibility that make personalized education possible.

At Stand Together Ventures Lab, we invest in solutions that put families and students in control of their learning journeys. We believe the future of education will be shaped by entrepreneurs creating more flexible, affordable, and trusted options that meet students where they are.

Why Education?

For too long, families have had to fit into one-size-fits-all systems that prize compliance over creativity. When options are limited, parents feel powerless and students disengage.Health is one of the most personal things in life, yet our system often feels impersonal, expensive, and confusing. We spend more than ever, and satisfaction continues to decline.

We see opportunity in founders who unlock choice, build trust, and make individualized learning a reality. These innovators are expanding the supply of and access to educational models, breaking down administrative barriers, and proving that people thrive when learning works for them, not the other way around.

Our focus is on technologies and business models that make education more adaptable, accessible, and aligned with each student’s strengths and goals.

Where We Are Investing

We invest in entrepreneurs building the infrastructure and experiences that make learning personal.

  • Learning Supply and Enablement; tools and platforms that make it easier to launch, scale, and sustain new education models such as microschools, hybrid programs, or alternative providers.
  • Navigation and Trust; solutions that help families discover, evaluate, and choose high-quality options with transparency and confidence.
  • Pathways Beyond the Conformity Cliff; innovations that reimagine the high school-to-college pipeline, opening trusted pathways into careers, credentials, and lifelong learning opportunities.
What We Are Exploring

We stay open to ideas that help students and families experience real choice. Education is full of barriers that invite better solutions, and we are drawn to people who see those gaps and move fast to fill them. We are exploring:

  • Infrastructure that removes friction for new school models
  • Platforms that simplify enrollment and payment for families
  • Tools that signal quality and fit between students and programs
  • Career-linked models that make education relevant and future-ready

We look for opportunities where family demand for choice and flexibility is outpacing what traditional systems can offer.
