Exciting to see Malvika Bhagwat, Partner and Head of Outcomes at Owl Ventures, return to her alma mater Harvard Graduate School of Education as a guest speaker in David Dockterman’s class! At Owl Ventures, we are deeply committed to the impact and efficacy of our portfolio companies, and Malvika’s role underscores that focus. During her session, she shared insights with students on how we drive impact change and our annual Education Outcomes Report.
Such gratitude to Malvika Bhagwat from Owl Ventures for her visit to our class. Her discussion illuminated Owl Ventures' distinctive approach to EdTech investment and support. Key takeaways from Malvika's talk: * Impact Partner + VC: Owl Ventures transcends traditional VC roles. They actively stimulate meaningful innovation in EdTech by identifying high-potential founders and providing hands-on assistance. This approach ensures that outcomes guide both strategic planning and product development. * Patient Investment Strategy: Owl Ventures understands that real impact takes time. They give their portfolio companies the runway needed to thoroughly develop and implement their evidence plans, fostering sustainable growth and meaningful educational outcomes. * Catalyzing Innovation in EdTech: Malvika emphasized that VC funding, particularly Owl Ventures' approach, plays a crucial role in the broader EdTech ecosystem. By strategically investing in promising startups, they stimulate innovation, pushing the boundaries of what's possible in educational technology and driving the entire sector forward. Thank you, Malvika Bhagwat, for sharing these valuable insights and inspiring us to broaden our understanding of the critical role that Owl Ventures plays in shaping the future of education! This talk is part of Harvard Graduate School of Education T408 Evaluating Impact at Scale through the lens of equity, evidence and ecosystems that I have the pleasure of co-teaching with David Dockterman. Shout out to Aleksander Muller Hilderbrand and Jeph B. Acheampong for moderating the discussion! #OwlVentures #EdTech #ImpactInvesting #EducationInnovation #PatientCapital #HGSE
