WHERE WE INVEST
Investment Focus Areas
21st Century Skills
21st century skills are tools that can be universally applied to enhance ways of thinking, learning, working and living in the world. These skills include critical thinking, creativity, problem solving, collaboration, communication, global citizenship, and information, media and technology literacy.
Preparation for the Workforce
Workforce preparation includes activities, programs or services designed to help an individual acquire a combination of basic academic skills, critical thinking skills, digital literacy skills and self-management skills, including competencies in utilizing resources, using information, working with others, understanding systems and obtaining skills necessary for successful transition into and completion of postsecondary education or training, or employment.
Alternative Pathways
Alternative pathways in education are alternative means of obtaining educational qualifications, other than the traditional means of gaining access to or completing the required study to obtain the educational qualifications.
Future of Work
The future of work is a projection of how work, workers and the workplace will evolve in the years ahead. There are varying components that experts have outlined in models explaining the future of work, but the three basic elements are: how the work is done, who does the work, and where and when work is done.
HOW WE WORK
Bridging the Gap from Education to Employment
We look for growth-stage impact investments with demonstrated efficacy addressing critical gaps in the education and labor markets.
Product/Market Fit
New Markets invests at the Series A stage and beyond - when a company has demonstrated product/market fit.
Scalable Growth
We look for high gross margins and a scalable business model that has been growing quickly led by an experienced team.
Impact Focus
We invest in innovative, mission-driven companies that remove obstacles and improve pathways to prosperity for the majority of Americans, especially those most at risk.
Efficacy
We require companies to have proven solutions and track the effectiveness of the work that they are doing.
TESTIMONIALS
What Our Companies Say
New Markets is uniquely positioned because they don’t expect their portfolio companies to fail. They expect every one of those companies to succeed... they take the mission very seriously – they don’t want any company that’s serving students or learners to fail.
Alan Tripp, former CEO
Motimatic
I am an LGBTQ founder, and I believe in elevating and providing access to education and training as a means to work, and New Markets is very focused on providing access to education in order to create social mobility. That’s very important to me as a founder. For us growth is important, and going to market and solving problems. But what’s even more important to us is changing the world. And for us New Markets was that partner who was going to help us make a difference and change the world for the better.
Michael Tringe, CEO
CreatorUp
In a word: engagement. Lots of venture capital firms and venture capitalists claim they are in the trenches with their entrepreneurs. New Markets actually delivers it.
Mihir Shah, CEO
Motimatic
I feel like they are sitting beside me at the table and trying to figure out how to make our business successful. We’ve gone through some rocky roads at APDS, when the future didn’t feel all that certain, and yet Mark’s commitment in the company and what we could achieve never wavered...you just feel they are by your side and not going to let you fail.
Harris Ferrell, CEO
APDS
Jason [is] a great listener who really looks out for entrepreneurs who have the right mission in their heart and a good strategy in place, and he supported me. It’s been a great partnership, and he’s always at the top of the list when I think of someone I want to call when we have good news or when we have a challenge or area of improvement. I always look for his advice.
Eleanor Cooper, CEO
Pathstream
One of things when you think about an investor, you need to have a partner who will give you the cold, hard facts, that’s going to tell you what they think and how they think you can do better as a business and as a CEO. That was very valuable. We went through a tough time and [they] helped guide us to make good decisions so that we would get through that and be stronger. That was a real special sauce for them.
Brian Kathman, former CEO
Signal Vine
New Markets Venture Partners has been a steadfast partner to Credly from the start. From reliable operational advice to critical partner introductions, to playing a key role in supporting Credly’s transformative acquisition of the Pearson’s Acclaim digital credential business, New Markets has been a trusted partner to me and our company.
Jonathan Finkelstein, CEO
Credly
New Markets has a very deep history in education – now decades of relationships to tap, experience and seeing education investments through cycle and how to support entrepreneurs. I really feel like they are in our corner in a way that is quite unique.
Kush Patel, CEO
