In honor of National Intern Day, we'd like to take a moment to thank the students that have joined us this summer! 🌟 They have not only doubled our team's size, but also brought energy and fresh perspectives to the work we do. At Lumos, we recognize the profound impact of the apprenticeship model. That's why we're not only investing in this transformative segment but also providing valuable apprenticeship opportunities within our organization. Proud to be part of a movement that shapes future talents! Thank you Théo Bradley, Hannah Chung, Alexander Fraser, Jenna Winocur, Nico Gigliani, & Logan Kim (not pictured)

Education creates such a large and tangible impact on student lives that it's easy to forget that universities and schools are still businesses and that investment matters 💳. Rohan Wadhwa was on this week's episode of Broken Education, and we really dove deep into understanding how investment works in such a complicated industry. Rohan is smart in this space and genuinely fun, so give this one a listen! I tried to use AI to create a "funny" 4-panel cartoon about this episode ... I can see a couple of areas it could be improved 😂 THE TAKEAWAYS: 📲 Investing as a Catalyst for Change: Rohan shares how strategic investments in education can create large-scale impact and support groundbreaking startups. 🤝 Access and Personalization: The two biggest challenges in education today. Rohan discusses the importance of improving access and tailoring learning experiences to individual needs. 🏃♂️ Navigating the Investment World: Insights into how the investment ecosystem supports educational innovation and the critical role of investors. THE GUEST: Rohan Wadhwa is a growth investor and Managing Director at Lumos Capital Group, focusing on education and workforce development. With a background as an education-focused management consultant and founder of his own startup, Rohan has a comprehensive view of the education sector. His work at Lumos involves supporting portfolio companies and exploring new ideas in education, making him a key player in driving educational change.
