Stride Funding, named the 2022 Startup of the Year by Startup Boston, is a venture-backed, mission-driven company that is transforming access to education with innovative forms of financing. We work to increase educational access by leveraging alternative data sets, innovative modeling techniques, and school-support funding to offer outcomes-driven financing products (e.g. income share loans, deferred tuition agreements, and employer-sponsored programs) on the basis of students’ future career trajectory—rather than their historical family credit profile. In the past year, we’ve closed the largest Income Share Loan fund in history, raising $105 million to support non-degree students in high-quality bootcamps, and launched groundbreaking programs to support students at schools ranging from Stanford Law School to General Assembly. Charging ahead on our student-centric mission, Stride Funding has become the largest player in the outcomes-based financing market, supporting students at more than 150 schools and bootcamp programs across the country, with over $135mm in servicing. Our team has grown 3x in the last year, and we’re not stopping any time soon.

Headway is building a new mental healthcare system, rewired for access and affordability. We all know someone that has struggled with mental health - 1 in 4 people have a treatable mental health condition - but the overwhelming majority don’t get the care they need. The primary reason is cost - seventy percent of therapists don’t accept insurance, meaning paying for therapy is usually very, very expensive. Headway is building the first national, virtual network of therapists who accept insurance, helping providers to expand their practices, and individuals to finally find a therapist they can afford. And we’re doing it all through software. We launched in April of 2019 and are already powering thousands of therapy appointments every single day. To scale our mission, we’ve raised funding from the world’s preeminent VCs (backers of Facebook, LinkedIn, Slack, Uber, Oscar) as well as the nation’s most innovative healthcare entrepreneurs (founders of One Medical, Flatiron Health, and Clover Health). We believe a team's strength is in its people. Headway is solving a national problem of affordability, and we know this cannot be achieved without a team that reflects the diversity of this problem - across race, ethnicity, gender, sexuality, and experience. Join us, and make an impact.

Bridge Legal's software platform, Bridgify, automates marketing, intake, casework up, and business intelligence for consumer law firms and their funders. We believe that individuals should have an equal opportunity to access the justice system to exercise their rights as large corporations have. We believe that if people are unaware of their rights or are unable to protect their rights, then their rights do not exist. We believe that technology and AI will enable attorneys to serve a far greater number of clients than ever before, and bridge the justice gap. Through our software, we enable our law firm clients to fight for the rights of the “little guy” with AI, automation, analytics and workflow. When people who have been injured or wronged have nowhere else to turn, they turn to a plaintiff’s attorney. We’re building the tools these lawyers need to fight for the rights of their clients at scale and hold corporations financially responsible for the harm they cause everyday people.
