About Entangled Studios: Founded in 2015 and based in San Francisco, we’re an education innovation studio working to equitably transition society to a knowledge economy. Our studio combines three areas of work: (1) Entangled.Labs, where we create purpose-built companies and nonprofits de novo (2) Entangled.Solutions, where we partner with universities, foundations, companies and nonprofits to help them innovate, grow and accelerate change (3) Entangled.Ventures, where we invest in early-stage companies aligned with our areas of deep knowledge and networks. Our Philosophy: Society is transitioning from an industrial economy to a knowledge economy where success is driven by higher-order problem solving, continuous learning and deep domain expertise. But, despite this radical shift, education has not kept pace. Too many are being left behind: low-income, first-generation and adult learners; the thirty million people with debt but no degree; the truck drivers and others soon to be automated out of a job. And the surfeit of students who have completed degrees but earn no more than high school graduates. We must aggressively pursue new, scaled learning solutions that support all learners in acquiring the skills and capabilities they need to flourish. This imperative requires an ecosystem approach leveraging the abilities and expertise of entrepreneurs, universities, foundations, companies and government. Entangled is an ecosystem approach to an ecosystem problem. We work across boundaries to harvest insights and unlock capacities of people and organizations poised to accelerate innovation and foster equity in education.
