Overview

Verse Capital Ventures, LLC (the “Fund” or the “Company” or “VCV”), a Utah Limited Liability Company, is a Portfolio Operator Venture Fund managed by Verse Capital Partners, a Utah Limited Liability Company (“Verse”, “Verse Capital”, “Management” or “VCP”). The Fund was founded by a management team with specific operating experience and acute expertise in affairs to enhance the Fund’s performance. This team includes experienced serial entrepreneurs, startup operators, education technology (EdTech) and finance executives, a U.S. K-12 education policy and legislation expert, as well as U.S. K-12 sales, marketing and implementation leaders from the largest competitor in the industry. Their experience will de-risk portfolio selection by accelerating the maturity curve of EdTech businesses. This is done by applying the Fund’s proprietary investment thesis to decrease the mortality hazard and increase growth potential of businesses in the Fund portfolio. This drives the overall purpose of producing a greater than market rate of return and positive social impact for investors. Public K-12 schools in America were designed to prepare young students to effectively integrate into the economy via the workplace or by transitioning into higher education after high school graduation. Over the past 30-years the economy and K-12 education have become out-of-sync with one another. The 1980’s brought the beginning of the Digital Revolution or Third Industrial Revolution and Information Era, marked by technology advancing from analog electronic and mechanical devices to the digital technology used today. By the early 90’s the computer had become a familiar machine in the workplace and by 1996 the internet had become a normal part of business operations for more than half of U.S. businesses. Knowing how to use a computer and the internet by the year 2000 was a necessity for many jobs. The investment required for rapid adoption of technology by businesses was easily justified by cost savings and growth opportunity that came with adoption. School systems, on the other hand, did not have a practical way to finance the adoption and integration of technology into its curriculum or classrooms. Even though the workplace called for employees capable of operating the technology of the Information Era. Currently, every industry that comprises the global economy, with the exception of K-12 education, has been reshaped by the recurring cycles of innovation brought by the Digital Revolution. Today, powerful, positive forces are gathering with the potential to transform education and EdTech. There is social and economic demand for K-12 education to produce graduates better prepared to compete in a 21st century college and/or career setting. There is also demand for technology to be integrated into schools that align teaching and learning with workforce requirements. The gap between the Digital Revolution and the state of education equates to a once in a generation opportunity for investors and entrepreneurs.
