4.0 represents an exciting investment opportunity, especially for seasoned national funders. In particular, it addresses a gap in current strategies that overemphasize later stage, lower-risk scaling at the expense of much-needed upstream investments in new school providers and reform tools.

We are also seeking bold funders based in the Southeast that think much more can be done to push reform here than adding a school here or a new TFA site there. The time is now for bold regional leaders to play in the disruptive upstream work of groups like 4.0 If you want to learn more about how you can help us, please contact our CEO, Matt Candler.
