Emerge - The first check for founders defining the future of work and learning

Emerge is a global pre-seed fund backed by 100+ of the world’s best future of work and learning operators. Our vision is to democratise access to opportunity – by being a catalytic partner for early-stage founders, providing first-cheque financial support, ongoing expertise and access to a community who have ‘been there and built it’ with unrivalled market-specific know-how.

Founded in 2014 as Europe’s only edtech specialist fund, Emerge now invests in B2B and B2C startups across all categories enabling people to grow and fulfil their potential, from early childhood, K12 and higher education through to lifelong learning, workforce development, career navigation and the future of work. Emerge has invested in over 80 companies, now valued at over $2b and impacting more than 31M people worldwide, including Yoto, Causaly, Colossyan, Edurino, Mattilda, Unibuddy, MyEdSpace and Solvely.
