Figure 8 Investments is founded and led by a married team combining a former Montessori educator (Fulbright Scholar with MA in Literacy Learning) and a twice-exited entrepreneur/renewables and healthcare VC, who explicitly use their pedagogical and operating experience to shape investment selection and portfolio support. They operate as an impact-oriented family office that writes $50k–$500k checks with a highly specific three-pillar thesis of "inclusive education, healthcare, and climate solutions" linked to social mobility, while committing 10% of profits to evidence-based nonprofits as a formal part of their identity.
