Thread: The best consumer marketplaces end up supply-constrained, because they tap into an incredible amount of demand. For instance, Airbnb, Lyft, and Uber have seemingly infinite demand since the product/market fit is so strong--and this demand puts pressure on supply.
One of our investment categories is supporting tech-enabled companies that make quality preschool and early childhood education accessible to more families. There are too many childcare deserts across the US.
High-quality preschool supports substantial early learning gains and can have powerful impacts into children’s later years of school and life according to a new report from @LPI_Learning that compiles the most rigorous evidence on the effects of preschool. bit.ly/2GbBKrl
