Founder and General Partner, New Markets Venture Partners

About

Mark Grovic brings unusually early exposure to impact investing from his work at Calvert in the early 1990s, decades before ESG went mainstream, and applies this "profit plus purpose" philosophy to education and workforce investments today. He focuses specifically on fixing critical education breakpoints like 3rd-grade literacy and 6th-grade math that directly connect to workforce outcomes, backing companies that can prove they improve these metrics with real-time data rather than just selling software to schools.
