Andre "Dre" Bennin brings an unusual combination of molecular biology and law training to education investing, along with experience designing public investment vehicles like Indiana's $250M Next Level Fund during his time in the Governor's office. As a West African immigrant who is a native French and Twi speaker, he combines his personal experience with education as economic mobility with deep crossover experience spanning private equity control deals, early-stage venture investing, and impact investing across the full education-to-workforce continuum.

Notable Investments
Rethink Education invests in companies that address "actual human suffering" by serving low-income, neurodivergent, incarcerated, immigrant, elderly, or discriminated-against learners rather than affluent consumers, backing "authentic entrepreneurs" who come directly from these customer groups and are obsessed with specific unsolved problems. The fund operationalizes racial and social equity inside portfolio governance, asking boards to reflect end-users' lived experiences, and behaves more like an "impact operator" by publishing detailed metrics-driven impact reports while investing across intersections of learning, workforce, justice, and health through its linked platform structure.
