Leading the sector with outcomes.
Owl strongly believes that the most successful companies will be those that are able to quantitatively measure their education outcomes. We know that different types of research are appropriate to determine effectiveness according to product type and development stage. Therefore, we encourage our portfolio companies to report their impact along a spectrum, from formative to summative research.

Different backgrounds + new perspectives = quality solutions
We invest in companies that build tools, services, and experiences for a changing world. To do that effectively, teams must be representative of the people they serve.Each year, we collect data to understand how companies are building inclusive cultures where people can thrive. These insights offer a lens into how our portfolio is contributing to more equitable outcomes across the populations they serve.
