Overview
Jennifer started her career as a classroom teacher in Elmwood Park Illinois. Jennifer moved to the Bay Area in 2000 where she was inspired by all of the entrepreneurs working on their ideas. She found a way to use my teaching experience to support these founders. Jennifer co founded her first fund NewSchools Seed Fund in 2011 and co founded her second Reach Capital in 2015. These funds have aggregated more than $67M in capital to back amazing entrepreneurs who are passionate about creating exceptional tools for teachers and engaging curriculum for kids. They are creating opportunities for kids and young adults who might think of themselves as underdogs because of background or challenges.
