Willing to Take Risks

We were founded on the premise that in order to fill the gaps in PreK-12 education, new ideas and risk capital is needed. We seek to try hard things that we are well-positioned to support.

Never Zero Sum

We aim to catalyze others to invest with quality and coherence as a central focus. This stance drives us to work in non-competitive, additive ways, both with for profit and non-profit partners.

What do we mean by coherence?

A-Street seeks solutions that respect and strengthen the relationship between the teacher, student, and content. Coherent tools build on the presence of high-quality core curriculum and leverage technology as an enabler of, not replacement for, excellent teaching.

These tools use data to provide insight into a student’s mastery of knowledge and skill, and to guide how educators spend instructional time. These tools are thoughtfully designed, rigorous, and connected holistically such that they create a
coherent user experience for the teacher and the student – one journey that builds from minute to minute, day to day, and unit to unit.
