Copper Wire Ventures

Copper Wire Ventures is a venture capital firm with a mission to support women-led technology startups, primarily focused on education and the future of work. Founded by Jessica Millstone, a veteran in the education technology sector, the firm was established to address the significant funding gap faced by female entrepreneurs. Copper Wire Ventures invests early, often as the first capital in, and remains dedicated to helping its portfolio companies secure additional funding through co-investments with like-minded VCs. The firm's portfolio reflects its commitment to lifelong learning and innovation, featuring companies such as Zoe Immersive, which leverages VR to empower students and teachers, and Mindprint Learning, a tool that helps tailor education to students' unique learning styles. Other notable investments include EveryDay Labs, which addresses chronic absenteeism in schools, and The Social Institute, which helps students navigate social media in a healthy and productive way. With a focus on supporting women and other underrepresented founders, Copper Wire is actively involved in fostering diversity and inclusion in venture capital, aiming to build a shared vision of the future of education and work.
