The Milken-Penn GSE EBPC celebrates and nurtures purpose-driven ventures that seek to address systemic inequities in education through innovation.
We share an urgency with education entrepreneurs to transform global education systems to create boundless opportunities and equitable outcomes for all learners, particularly those who have been marginalized and underserved by society. Through our ecosystem of entrepreneurs, judges, mentors, and sponsors, we seek to elevate diverse voices and empower changemakers to design and scale impactful solutions that address the most persistent and emerging issues across the education landscape.
