Investment Thesis

Zanichelli Venture invests in early-stage edtech startups with a focus on creating positive impact through education. They view edtech broadly (‘from pre-K to grey’) and seek founders building tools that serve as ‘radical power-ups’ of the learner’s experience while integrating into existing education systems, or creating alternatives with potential to scale from niche to dominant. The fund is committed to supporting founders long-term, providing the expertise and resources of a 150+ year-old education publisher while respecting founder autonomy.
