I Don’t Usually Invest In Startups, Unless I know The Team Behind It And Believe In What They Are Doing. A lot of people Have Good Ideas, But Only Few Can Actually Execute It. The Career Labs Team Has A Proven Record, And I Have Full Confidence In Them.

What I Find Amazing Is That Compared To Competitors In The Ed-Tech Space, What CareerLabs Has Thoughtfully And Efficiently Built In The Last Two Years Is Extremely Encouraging. CareerLabs Is Tackling A Genuine Social Problem, With A Large Addressable Market Size, And Very Few Entities Have Shown The Resolve That You Have, In A Very Difficult Year.

Typically, When I Invest, I look For Companies That Are Tackling Very Challenging Problems In Large Markets. Many Start-ups Have Tackled The K-12 Section, And There Are Others Who Tackle The Post-K-12 Section, Although In A Piecemeal Way. CareerLabs Fills That Gap Perfectly, Looking At A Student Holistically, Guiding Them For Long-Term Career Success. Am Excited To Have The Privilege To Be A Part Of This Journey.
