    Persefoni is a startup that operates in the environmental, social, and governance (ESG) technology market, specifically focusing on carbon accounting. The company has developed a platform that allows businesses to manage their emissions data with the same level of accuracy, transparency, and control as their financial data.

This ledger can be scaled to match a business's growth and changing needs.Persefoni's business model involves partnering with consulting, technology, and standard-setting firms to provide comprehensive solutions for businesses on their journey to carbon neutrality. The platform can integrate with other ESG reporting and key performance indicator (KPI) tools, such as Novata, to maintain visibility across portfolio companies.In terms of revenue, Persefoni likely operates on a subscription-based model, charging businesses for access to its platform and services.

  • Prenda

    Education

    Prenda operates within the alternative education sector, providing a platform and services for the creation and management of K-8 microschools. This experience, observing children engaged in self-directed learning, inspired him to establish the first Prenda microschool around his kitchen table in 2018 with seven students. The business model centers on enabling adults, referred to as "Guides," to lead small learning groups of 5-10 students, often in homes or community centers. Prenda provides these guides with a comprehensive toolkit, including curriculum, operational support, management software, and ongoing training. The curriculum combines third-party online tools like Khan Academy and Lexia with proprietary learning platforms developed by Prenda. The learning model is structured around four daily modes: connect, conquer, collaborate, and create, which incorporates project-based learning across various subjects. Revenue is generated through partnerships with state-credentialed educational institutions and state scholarship programs, such as Education Savings Accounts (ESAs), making the experience tuition-free for many families. In cases where public funding isn't available, Prenda offers a private-pay option. The company collects fees and distributes a portion to the guides. This model allows guides, who are not required to be accredited teachers, to earn an income while facilitating the microschools. Since its inception, Prenda has facilitated the creation of over 1,000 microschools, reaching nearly 10,000 students. The company has secured significant venture capital, including a $20 million Series B round in June 2022, to support its expansion into more states and enhance its program offerings.
