Founded in 2009, the VC firm backs and builds tech-driven companies helping humans to flourish. The firm views learning as both the bedrock and a key building block of thriving societies. Education and training are major factors in determining a person’s future — or a country’s economy. It’s one of the more significant factors separating developed and developing countries. Learn manages over $1bn in assets and has a portfolio of almost 200 companies, focusing on catalytic areas of daily life: health and wellness, education, finance and community. The mission-driven firm is based in Austin, Texas, and has deployed five funds over the past 13 years. Some of its portfolio superstars include Armenia’s SoloLearn, providing free digital courses and a global community to learn coding, and Croatia’s Photomath, the digital math tutor app that secured $23m in funding and exceeded 220 million downloads in February 2021. Merlyn, the first AI classroom assistant, joined the Learn incubator in 2018. According to a study co-authored by Nobel-Prize-winning economist, Professor Michael Kremer, the highly standardised methodology used by Learn investee NewGlobe, headquartered in Kenya, was found to produce dramatic learning gains at scale. Learn has undergone a partial rebranding to enhance the platform, expand the team and establish Austin as an innovation hub. The CFI.co judging panel presents Learn Capital — a repeat programme winner —with the 2022 Most Innovative Global EdTech Investor (US) award.</p>\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-10714\" src=\"https://cfi.co/awards/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/New-Globe.jpg\" alt=\"New-Globe\" width=\"500\" height=\"180\" />\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-10715\" src=\"https://cfi.co/awards/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/Merlyin-Mind.jpg\" alt=\"Merlyin-Mind\" width=\"500\" height=\"103\" />\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-10716\" src=\"https://cfi.co/awards/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/Sololearn.jpg\" alt=\"Sololearn\" width=\"500\" height=\"95\" />\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-10717\" src=\"https://cfi.co/awards/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/Photomath.jpg\" alt=\"Photomath\" width=\"500\" height=\"105\" />",
