Reach Capital

Esteban Sosnik, Co Founder, Partner
After 12 years as an entrepreneur in the gaming industry, and inspired by the opportunities technology can afford to superpower humanity, Esteban joined Reach from its founding in 2015 to support education entrepreneurs and help them build iconic global businesses that augment human potential. Learning and growing has always been Esteban’s life motivator that brought him from Buenos Aires to the University of Virginia and from studying Foreign Affairs and Economics to becoming an entrepreneur and investor. He loves supporting companies and entrepreneurs whose mission is to enable learning for others.


Shauntel Garvey, Co-Founder, Partner
From a young age, Shauntel understood the transformative power of education. From her time at MIT studying chemical engineering to completing her MBA and MA in Education at Stanford, she’s navigated life with a curious mind and an insatiable appetite for knowledge. Shauntel set out to instill this same love for learning in others through volunteer tutoring and mentoring programs, but soon realized a career in education was her true calling. Given her interest in the intersection of education and technology, she went on to co-found Reach Capital and enjoys supporting founders as they build solutions that foster meaningful learning experiences.


Jennifer Carolan, Co-Founder, Partner
Jennifer grew up in Chicago and its suburbs. She had the transformative experience of attending two different high schools—one in the city and one in the suburbs. That experience set her on a path to understand our education system and why it has great inequalities. Jennifer taught in traditional public schools for 7 years, pursued an MA in Education from Stanford, then went on to learn the craft of venture capital for almost a decade before co-founding Reach Capital. Although she never intentionally went after a career in venture capital, she found it to be a powerful lever to remove the obstacles that stand in the way of opportunity, especially for those without a voice.


Wayee Chu, Co-Founder, Partner
Wayee was born in Queens, New York and raised in Connecticut by Chinese parents who immigrated to the US for the sole purpose of getting an education; this upbringing no doubt influenced and shaped her understanding of the importance of education and ultimately led to a career path and commitment in bringing greater access and opportunity to all learners. Wayee’s first experience with entrepreneurs was when she moved to California in 2005 to work at NewSchools Venture Fund, alongside her colleagues Jennifer Carolan and Shauntel Garvey. Her foundational experience supporting some of the most inspiring and innovative education entrepreneurs led her to join the team at Reach Capital where she continues her passion in supporting early stage founders who are building companies that look to transform the way we learn and live.
