Reach was founded in 2015 on the belief that technology can help people live better lives. One decade, four funds, and more than 100 investments later, that premise has borne fruit. Across classrooms, clinics, and careers, we’ve seen firsthand how mission-driven founders can expand access, lower costs, improve outcomes, and level the playing field in learning, health, and work.

As our portfolio has grown, so have our team and our work. Today, we’re excited to share our new logo and visual identity with the world: a wordmark shaped by humanist type and calligraphy, reflecting the craft we bring to early-stage investing; and a monogram icon that blooms and waves — an invitation to build and grow, together.

We’re also unveiling a new website that brings our story to life, showcases our portfolio, and makes it easier to explore our investment areas, perspectives, and how we support founders.

It’s a new look that captures our ambition for what’s ahead, while staying true to what’s never changed: investing with heart, championing founders, and widening access to opportunity for all.

Here, we look back on the last decade and share the design decisions that shaped this evolution.

The AI-powered “Shazam for Sheet Music” has raised $5 million in its seed round that we led. We’re joined by Emerge Capital, 10x Founders, Dent Capital, and Ron “Bumblefoot” Thal (former Guns N’ Roses guitarist). We previously led the pre-seed in the company, inspired by its mission to make creating, playing, and learning music more accessible.

The AI-native workforce management platform has raised $3.4 million from 1984, YC, and Reach Capital. The company is building a “Rippling for deskless workers” that combines manual, fragmented HR workflows like payroll, scheduling, and time tracking into one simple app. More than 40 businesses and 1,300 workers use Sira every day.

The team has raised $4.1 million to build next-gen foundation models for radiology. With 7 in 10 radiologists reporting being short-staffed, Mecha is augmenting human expertise with scalable AI intelligence to help clinicians deliver better care. The seed round was led by Valia Ventures, which we joined alongside Y Combinator, Phosphor Capital, and Rebel Fund.

What are we putting into our grocery carts and, subsequently, in our bodies?

FoodHealth Co, in partnership with NielsenIQ, analyzed more than 200 billion grocery purchases and 70,000 household receipts to understand how healthy America eats. Unhealthy foods continue to dominate our grocery carts. The average U.S. cart scored 48.9 out of 100, which is significantly below the level linked to long-term health.

The report identifies trends in food quality and possible causes. FoodHealth scores correlate with household income and education levels. When children reach school age, household health scores tend to plummet, as salty snack purchases rise 14% and candy climbs 20%. But poverty doesn’t tell the full story: when adjusted for income, SNAP households buy baskets that are just as healthy, if not healthier, than non-SNAP peers.

FoodHealth’s mission is to make it simpler for consumers to make informed decisions about what they’re buying. If consumers swap three of the lowest-scoring items per store trip for the healthiest substitutes, it will raise the national average to 69 and create healthier households.

Fitt Insider shared their top takeaways from the research here.

PURPOSE MISMATCH: According to a Gallup survey, employees with a strong sense of purpose at work are 6X as likely to be engaged in their jobs as those without. Yet, less than a third of hiring managers consider purpose to be very important to a new hire’s success.

BODY COMP: The number of U.S. states with adult obesity rates at 35% or above decreased from 23 in 2023 to 19 last year — a first-time dip, according to an analysis of public data by the Trust for America’s Health. Still, 4 in 10 American adults have obesity.

HEALTH GRADE: West Health and Gallup’s 2025 Healthcare State Rankings reveal that 30% of Americans avoided recommended doctor visits in the past year due to cost. Over a third of U.S. adults feel their medical professionals do not fully understand their needs.

TEXT FINDINGS: An analysis of 3.3 million texts related to chronic absenteeism found that attendance gains hinge on a few simple moves. Early outreach in August and September can boost attendance by 34% or more, and the best time to text families is when they’re already in “school mode” (around 8 a.m. and 2–4 p.m.).
