Workshop is a venture studio that partners with founders to build startups in climate and education. works at the intersection of purpose and profit, driven by our belief that many of today’s most pressing problems require scalable, self-sustaining enterprises with the returns to attract high-quality talent and growth capital. partners with 2-4 companies at a time, including both early-stage companies launched by founders, as well as ideas originated within the studio for which we recruit founding CEOs. Within climate, Workshop has three areas of focus: (1) buildings (with a particular emphasis on residential and small-scale commercial buildings), (2) solutions that leverage software and AI, and (3) consumer-oriented businesses. Within education, Workshop focuses within the U.S. across the full spectrum of learners from early childhood through workforce, with a particular emphasis on the K12 space.
