Invested In
Next-Generation
Learning

 
 
 

Lemnis is centered on expanding the horizons of learning. To do this, we support changemakers and organizations who innovate, develop, and catalyze change in four frontiers for our most vulnerable learners. 

While we believe that concentrated investments in these four domains is critical, we also know that there is power in how they interact and intersect with one another. 

Our aim in each of these areas is to challenge traditional models, implement cutting-edge research, and shape the future landscape to make systems more inclusive, adaptive, and effective for all.

Advancing Four Related Frontiers

  • Belonging & Community

    Belonging is a fundamental human need and essential element of effective learning environments—but today, equipping learners with a strong sense of belonging is far from standard.

  • Neuroscience & Social Sciences

    Neuroscience and social science can tell us a great deal about the most effective ways to learn—but there’s a big disconnect between what we know in theory, and what we do in practice.

  • Artificial Intelligence & Digital Technology

    Emerging technology has the potential to combat barriers to learning—but in many ways, its transformational promise remains unfulfilled.

  • New Ecosystems & Supports

    Public education is at a turning point. Individual educators go above and beyond to meet learners’ evolving needs in a complex world—but they lack a broader system to support their efforts.

Capital Deployment Strategies

 As a public charity, we have the opportunity to deeply support organizations as they prepare and support current and future generations of learners. Lemnis invests in and partners with organizations that:  

 

  • Create authentic and relevant connections between learning and opportunity 
  • Support learners holistically 
  • Expand how we define and measure learner success  

 

 

Lemnis Collective 

We prioritize bringing mission-aligned organizations, both for-profit assets and non-profits with earned revenue, under the Lemnis umbrella through mergers and acquisitions. We provide patient capital, long-term stability, freedom from the uncertainty of fundraising, and operational and strategic support for organizations to remain focused on their mission, impact, growth, and innovation. To support our Collective and our vision for the Unlimited Learner, we have additionally formed:    

 

  • Lemnis Alliance: We provide grants to entrepreneurs focused on innovations in the future of learning. We provide this support and general operating funding primarily through intermediaries and accelerators. 
  • Lemnis Initiatives: We invest in mission-aligned funds and for-profit organizations to accelerate their impact.
