The photos are in 📸! A few weeks ago, we hosted our founder gathering event, bringing together leaders from our various portfolio companies for an afternoon of peer-to-peer learning and development.    The event featured an insightful presentation on market trends, dynamic peer-led breakout sessions, and a panel on exploring alternative financing methods and down rounds. It was a great opportunity to foster collaboration and share knowledge among our #EdTech and #workforce community.    A special thank you to our presenters, panel speakers, and breakout session leaders for sharing your insights and expertise: David Blake, Nana Kyei, Tim Capen, Laurence Brent, Ben Boyd, Jessica Reid Sliwerski, Tammy Mank Wincup, and Jackson Boyar.    And of course, thank you to all our portfolio company leaders who participated and made this event a success. We look forward to continuing these conversations and driving innovation to unlock human potential together!    #RethinkEducation

Despite the heat, 18 dedicated Rethink Capital Partners employees went to Boni Bel Farm at Green Chimneys and made a tremendous impact! Green Chimneys is a local nonprofit that helps young people reach their full potential through residential, educational, clinical, and recreational services, fostering connections with family, community, animals, and nature. The team filled approximately 80 wheelbarrows with mulch to contain weeds along the perimeter fencing and around trees. They also weeded two large beds, filled two double wheelbarrows with weeds, and prepared the beds for planting kale next week. Thank you to the volunteers and Rethink Capital Partners for their commitment to community service. Your hard work and dedication are truly making a difference!
