This is STVL
At Stand Together Ventures Lab, we believe better is always possible and that the people closest to the problems are the ones most capable of solving them.
We back entrepreneurs who refuse to settle for the way things are. Health care where patients are not in charge. Education that treats every student the same. An economy where outdated rules and limited supply keep opportunity out of reach. These are the challenges that shape daily life, and too often the solutions feel stuck.
Yet in each of these areas we see founders reimagining what is possible. They are creating alternatives that expand access, reduce costs, and put people in charge of their own future. They prove that change does not have to wait.
Already we have partnered with entrepreneurs opening new learning pathways for families, designing ways for people to pay for care directly, and building housing models that lower costs and expand supply. Each of these efforts is an early proof point that when people, not systems, are the customer, better outcomes follow.
What sets STVL apart is not only what we invest in but how we show up. We are a small team with conviction and care. We bring curiosity to every conversation and urgency to every partnership. We push for bigger visions, ask harder questions, and celebrate progress that compounds over time. For us, partnership is never only about capital. It is about belief in people, trust in their agency, and the shared pursuit of impact that lasts.
This is the first post in a new series where we will share how we invest, what we look for in founders, and the ways we add value beyond capital. Think of it as an open door into how we work and why this work matters.

If you are a founder building in health care, education, or the economy, we would love to hear from you. If you are an investor, partner, or operator who shares this vision, let's connect.
