- [Help That Knows Your Home: Why We Invested in Rosie](https://www.reachcapital.com/resources/news/rosie-childcare-ai/): Rosie is building the operating system for the household. Families buy a monthly membership of hours, and Rosie matches them with vetted Pros who handle both childcare and housework, from date-night babysitting and backup care to meal prep, to daily house resets. What makes this all work smoothly is the AI Family Brain, which learns each family’s routines and preferences through conversational onboarding, texts, and feedback after each session, then turns them into a Guidebook that each Pro reviews before walking through the door. My own “wow” moment came when I onboarded my family as part of due diligence; after a quick three-step chat, Rosie produced a Guidebook for my household with much more detail, intuition and empathy than I expected from software.
- [Announcing Rich Yang as Reach’s Newest Venture Partner](https://www.reachcapital.com/resources/news/rich-yang-venture-partner/): Today we are excited to announce that Rich Yang will be joining Reach as a Venture Partner!
- [Investing in the Machinery of Human Judgment](https://www.reachcapital.com/resources/thought-leadership/human-judgment-work-ai/): Professional judgment has always come bundled with time and labor. If you want someone’s expertise, you have to pay for their hours. Ask a civil engineer whether a crack in the foundation is serious, and you’re paying for the site visit, even if the answer takes just a minute.
- [Metabolic Health and Allergy: 2 Routes to Family-Based Pediatric Care](https://www.reachcapital.com/resources/thought-leadership/metabolic-health-allergy-family-based-pediatric-care/): We’re actively exploring two promising wedges for building this platform from different points on the evidence-maturity curve: pediatric metabolic health, where the protocol is established and reimbursement is catching up, and pediatric allergic disease, where the household is already central to care but family-based protocols are still emerging.
- [The Family as Patient: Investing in the Next Wave of Pediatric Health](https://www.reachcapital.com/resources/thought-leadership/family-pediatric-health/): This is where pediatric care has been stuck for decades. And it’s why we believe one of the most durable healthcare opportunities over the next 10 years won’t be a better specialty clinic, but rather a company that treats the family as the clinical unit. After several months mapping the space and pressure-testing the thesis with founders and healthcare advisors, we believe the time to build that category-defining company is now.
- [Announcing Reach V, Our New $265M Fund](https://www.reachcapital.com/resources/news/reach-v-our-265-million-fund/): At Reach Capital, we just raised our fifth fund, at $265M. With this, our Founders Fund II, and previous funds, we’re nearing $1 billion in assets under management. We’ll continue to invest at the early stages — pre-Seed, Seed and Series A rounds — in companies that uplift human potential and the systems that support them.
- [The Reach Capital Intern Starter Pack](https://www.reachcapital.com/resources/thought-leadership/reach-capital-internship/): Dear Future Intern,
- [All the Small Things: How Doorman Turns Design Details Into Trust](https://www.reachcapital.com/resources/thought-leadership/how-doorman-turns-design-details-into-trust/): A designer at heart, Patrick Cui is the co-founder and CEO of Doorman, which blocks cell phone distractions, automates attendance, and helps students build better digital habits. In this interview, Patrick shares important design lessons from copywriting at Ramp, knowing when to turn off “founder mode,” and why quality is really a compounding game, where seemingly minor improvements add up to become an unfair advantage.
- [At Vibecon and Config, the Future of AI Design Looks Very Human](https://www.reachcapital.com/resources/thought-leadership/vibecon-config-ai-design/): Across two contrasting environments, similar threads kept coming up. The more capable AI becomes, it turns out, the more the oldest human skills and intuition matter — things like trust, attention, language, play and joy.
- [Preserving What’s Human: Our Journey With GPTZero](https://www.reachcapital.com/resources/news/gptzero-superhuman/): Edward Tian and Alex Cui, co-founders of GPTZero, were the exception. Alex brought the machine learning depth from his time as an undergraduate at Caltech and a Master’s student at the University of Toronto. Edward also had technical chops, as a computer science major at Princeton with a journalism minor, and a stint at BBC working on an investigation team tracking disinformation spread.
- [The Brain Science Behind Learning and Technology for Students](https://www.reachcapital.com/resources/thought-leadership/brain-science-learning/): Part 3 in our series on the Edtech Backlash
- [Welcoming Harry Luo, Our New Senior Associate](https://www.reachcapital.com/resources/news/welcoming-harry-luo-our-new-senior-associate/): We’re excited to welcome Harry Luo to Reach as our newest Senior Associate!
- [Where the Edtech Backlash Is Missing Nuance](https://www.reachcapital.com/resources/thought-leadership/edtech-backlash/): Part 2 in our series on the Edtech Backlash. Read Part 1 here. Or skip ahead to Part 3.
- [Banning Edtech Is the Wrong Response to the Right Questions](https://www.reachcapital.com/resources/thought-leadership/edtech-ban/): This is Part 1 of our Series on the Edtech Backlash. Part 2 examines the need for nuance. Part 3 goes into the brain science behind learning and tech.
- [Stop Worrying About AI Replacing Doctors. Worry About How Many More We’ll Need.](https://www.reachcapital.com/resources/thought-leadership/ai-doctors-healthcare-training/): There’s a dominant narrative taking hold in healthcare circles that AI is coming for clinical jobs. Surveys suggest a majority of physicians believe it will make them obsolete.
- [The State of Early-Stage Fundraising in 2026](https://www.reachcapital.com/resources/thought-leadership/state-of-fundraising-2026/): Artificial intelligence has created one of the most dynamic fundraising environments the venture industry has seen in decades. It has also introduced real uncertainty: concerns around disruption to existing industries and SaaS categories, and hard questions about defensibility. And what about the companies that are not “AI-native?”
- [Why We Invested in Journify Learning](https://www.reachcapital.com/resources/news/why-we-invested-in-journify-learning/): Mara and Sagar are the co-founders of Journify Learning, an evidence-based AI assistant for special education that automates paperwork, integrates with all support providers, and simplifies compliance efforts. We are pleased to lead Journify’s seed round, alongside Charter School Growth Fund.
- [Announcing Cobalt Collective](https://www.reachcapital.com/resources/news/announcing-cobalt-collective/): Reach is launching a new nonprofit today called The Cobalt Collective, and we’re excited to introduce our Founding Executive Director Clark McKown. First, a little background on why we started it.
- [What It Takes to Be a Brilliant Engineer with Jared Silver](https://www.reachcapital.com/resources/thought-leadership/what-it-takes-to-be-a-brilliant-engineer-with-jared-silver/): Today he leads engineering at Brilliant, an interactive STEM learning platform with over 10 million users and he regularly hires engineering talent. In this interview, he shares what got him in the door, what opens doors for engineers today, and why he thinks early-career builders have more leverage right now than they realize.
- [Rick Majzun Joins Reach Capital as a Healthcare Advisor](https://www.reachcapital.com/resources/news/rick-majzun-joins-as-a-healthcare-advisor/): Many of the healthcare entrepreneurs we chat with these days are building tools for health systems. Rick Majzun has spent 30 years running them. His experience and perspectives are not something one can build from the outside or overnight, and they make him an invaluable thought partner for Reach Capital as we invest in founders working to innovate how health systems operate.
- [The Financial Infrastructure for School Choice: Why We Invested in Pathfinder](https://www.reachcapital.com/resources/thought-leadership/why-we-invested-pathfinder/): This gap represents a massive opportunity: to build modern financial and marketplace infrastructure that actually works for families and, in doing so, unlocks better alternative educational outcomes at scale. That is why we are thrilled to co-lead Pathfinder’s $4 million Seed round with Gradient Ventures. 
- [Designing the Future With Replit Co-Founder Haya Odeh](https://www.reachcapital.com/resources/thought-leadership/design-replit-haya-odeh/): Growing up in Jordan, Haya Odeh loved colors. She has vivid memories of coloring and shapes as a child. Today, she’s the co-founder and VP of Design at Replit, one of the world’s most widely used platforms for software creation, with over 50 million users and five million apps created.
- [The Vitality Stack: Where We’re Investing to Power Health and Purpose](https://www.reachcapital.com/resources/thought-leadership/vitality-stack-investing-to-power-health-purpose/): Healthcare has become obsessed with “longevity.” It refers to how long people live, with a focus on extending lives while maintaining a certain quality of health.
- [Welcoming Our Newest Healthcare Advisor: Prakash Patel](https://www.reachcapital.com/resources/news/healthcare-advisor-prakash-patel/): As we invest in the next frontier of healthcare, we continue to seek advisors who bring hard-won, frontline experience navigating the most complex corners of the care industry. That's why we’re thrilled to welcome Prakash Patel, MD as our newest healthcare advisor.
- [Aprende’s User Stories on Despierta America](https://www.reachcapital.com/resources/news/historias-de-aprende-en-despierta-america/)
- [Fortune 500 Powers for Main Street: How AI is Unlocking the SMB Economy](https://www.reachcapital.com/resources/thought-leadership/ai-smb-economy/): That’s a question that founders building for small businesses (SMB) hear all the time. (The typical answer: no.) It’s usually framed as a unit economics critique: small deals, fragmented customers, messy distribution. And if we assume the market is limited to “pizzerias that already buy software,” the skepticism makes sense.
- [Making Hormone Intelligence Visible: Why We Invested in Clair](https://www.reachcapital.com/resources/news/hormone-intelligence-made-visible-why-we-invested-in-clair-health/): Last year, I started taking my fertility more seriously and I went to see a reproductive endocrinologist. Before long, I found myself on Amazon buying basal thermometers and ovulation sticks, while also making frequent trips back to the clinic for blood draws—just to understand what my hormones and reproductive cycle were doing. The process felt so analog and opaque. 
- [Revisiting 5 Stats That Are Testing Our Social Institutions — and Shaping Where We Invest](https://www.reachcapital.com/resources/thought-leadership/revisiting-5-stats-shaping-where-we-invest/): I’m revisiting the “5 Stats Shaping My Investment Theses” that I wrote about three years ago, in January 2023. While the pandemic is over, we have not returned to “normal.”
- [Your Voice May Be the Most Scalable Health Sensor Yet](https://www.reachcapital.com/resources/thought-leadership/voice-digital-health-sensor/): Last year, I felt really sick. I was incredibly fatigued and struggled to stand for more than 30 minutes at a time. But my Whoop recovery score and lab tests all indicated that I was “normal.” While my physiological health indicators suggested I was fine, anyone who I spoke to could tell there was something wrong. There was a change in my voice that signaled something off that eluded my body metrics, which led me to explore whether there was some clinical value hidden in my voice itself.  
- [Fixing Publishing for the AI Era: Why We Invested in Cashmere](https://www.reachcapital.com/resources/news/fixing-publishing-ai-why-we-invested-in-cashmere/): The publishing industry is undergoing a massive shift as generative AI transforms information consumption, with users increasingly seeking direct answers to their questions rather than links and full publications. This shift has been great for end users but devastating for publishers. Traffic is collapsing, legacy licensing models don’t map to AI-native workflows, and much of the world’s most valuable written knowledge is being absorbed into large language models without clear control, attribution, or compensation — eroding the incentives to create future knowledge.
- [Within Reach: 2026’s Breakthrough Ideas in Learning](https://www.reachcapital.com/resources/thought-leadership/2026-big-ideas-learning-ai/): AI has arrived in classrooms faster than any technology before it, and while early gains have focused on efficiency, the opportunity is much deeper. The real promise isn’t about doing school faster or cheaper; it’s about rethinking what learning is, who it serves, and how human potential is developed in today’s world.
- [Within Reach: 2026’s Breakthrough Ideas in Work AI](https://www.reachcapital.com/resources/thought-leadership/2026-big-ideas-work-ai/): Even as AI delivers unprecedented gains in productivity, its real promise isn’t just about doing things faster and cheaper. It’s about reshaping work to be more human, purposeful and rewarding.
- [Within Reach: 2026’s Breakthrough Ideas in Health](https://www.reachcapital.com/resources/thought-leadership/2026-big-ideas-health/): Today, no technology is moving faster or unlocking more possibilities than AI. We’re seeing healthcare startups scale at unprecedented speed with smaller teams, overturning long-held assumptions about what it takes to build enduring companies.
- [Accelerating Life Sciences Breakthroughs: Why We Invested in Manifold](https://www.reachcapital.com/resources/news/accelerating-life-sciences-breakthroughs-why-we-invested-in-manifold/): Life sciences is at a moment of extraordinary potential. Genomics, imaging, multimodal data, and AI-powered modeling are reshaping what researchers can see and understand. Yet the speed at which new insights translate into breakthroughs has not kept pace with the growing amount of information available. In fact, Eroom’s Law (the inverse of Moore’s law) has shown that the cost of producing a new drug is increasing as technology has advanced.
- [Reach Capital’s First Healthcare Impact Report](https://www.reachcapital.com/resources/thought-leadership/healthcare-impact-report/): The healthcare system is at a breaking point. Rising costs and staffing shortages are straining its capacity to deliver high-quality, timely care, and exhausting providers. Meanwhile, patients demand better experiences, on par with what they expect from consumer services and conveniences. Growing volumes of data from hospitals and personal devices offer unprecedented opportunities to improve care, yet much of it remains siloed and unused.
- [A Decade of Reach, A New Look for What’s Next](https://www.reachcapital.com/resources/news/a-decade-of-reach-a-new-look-for-whats-next/): Reach was founded in 2015 on the belief that technology can help people live better lives. From a child’s first moments, through education and healthcare, to work and opportunities that support economic mobility and well-being, our investments focus on elevating human potential and igniting purpose. When people are equipped to grow their skills, nurture relationships, stay healthy, and find meaning in what they do, communities thrive.
