It was great to bring our portfolio and co-investors together for the Metrics that Matter convening to kick off EDTECH WEEK. Thank you to Erin Mote, Antony Bugg-Levine, and Kelly Fitzsimmons for sharing your knowledge and experience with impact measurement and management, and most importantly, for illuminating how impact can be a key accelerant for startups. ?A few highlights from the convening include: ?? Measurement is a point-in-time concept, often looking back at a company’s impact. We should focus our efforts on the management processes to ensure the data, feedback, and insights collected are core to decision-making and drive a continual improvement process. ?? Across the landscape, aligning your business with the ESSA Tiers of Evidence, Social and Economic Mobility Standards, and the Good Jobs Principles will establish deeper, more collaborative partnerships with postsecondary institutions and employers. ?? Procurement processes are increasingly being held accountable to buying outcomes, not just innovation. Having substantial evidence for how your business drives toward or delivers outcomes that matter is not only a competitive advantage, but also an opportunity to support the leaders implementing your solution. Thank you to everyone that attended. Acadeum Aprende Institute CareAcademy Motivo Health Kyron Learning GSV Ventures Leeds Illuminate Strada Education Foundation
