Humanist Venture Studio is an AI venture studio focused on the human potential sector, building companies that create economic opportunity and purposeful work. The studio was founded by the team behind Entangled, the first edtech venture studio, which managed 21 portfolio companies and was acquired by Guild (valued at $4.4 billion) in 2020. Humanist partners with exceptional founders and provides a full-stack founding team to build category-defining AI-native companies. The studio's mission is to ensure that generative AI works for everyone, especially those who have historically been left behind, by attracting the best entrepreneurs and stacking the odds in their favor. The team brings deep expertise in education technology, workforce development, learning marketplaces, and building scalable technology platforms. Humanist's approach focuses on leveraging AI to help people find both economic stability and purpose through purposeful work, with emphasis on creating solutions that enable more people to thrive in the age of AI. The studio operates with a philosophy that every person has an innate hunger for purposeful work, and with generative AI, there is a powerful new toolset to help more people achieve this goal.
