ASA Office Hours–Impact Investing: New Early Stage and Diverse Founders Fund

Since launching its investment strategy in April of 2022, ASA has invested over $40 million dollars in key sectors, such as postsecondary pathways, workforce development, and career-focused education. As a result, more than 40 million learners have been impacted through fund investments, as well as through direct investments. Over the next five years, ASA will invest $10 million in mission-aligned early-stage and $15 million in companies with diverse founders and senior executives. The new investment initiative will invest in diverse entrepreneurs of early-stage companies that are achieving at least $500k in annual recurring revenue with an institutional lead investor.  The new initiative will also invest in diverse fund managers of funds that are mission-aligned to ASA’s goals. Join ASA’s CEO and President Jean Eddy and Vice President of Mission Impact Investing Rilwan Meeran for coffee during our “Office Hours” to discuss how you can take advantage of early-stage capital to drive innovation in K12 career education.
