NEW YORK - November 15, 2022 - (Newswire.com)

Braintrust Tutors ("Braintrust"), the most comprehensive evidence-based tutoring platform for K-12 students, announced today the additions of notable investors Scott Sandell, Managing General Partner of New Enterprise Associates, Inc. (NEA), and John Chambers, former executive chairman and CEO of Cisco Systems and Founder of JC2 Ventures. The investments will assist the company as it accelerates its growth and solidifies its position as the preeminent leader in the rapidly expanding market for high-impact tutoring. 

Braintrust creates high-quality learning experiences for vulnerable students, including the 1-in-5 who have learning differences, the 2-in-3 who lack proficiency with reading and math, and the countless others who are grappling with profound pandemic-related learning loss. Braintrust partners with schools and districts to deliver its comprehensive learning programs - including personalized matching to its diverse team of highly-qualified, certified educators; proprietary curricula and customized lesson plans; ongoing formative assessments, reporting and data analytics; and high-touch support. 

Under the leadership of Co-Founders Jen Mendelsohn and Mara Koffmann, Braintrust has seen sharply increasing demand for its solutions. The investments of Sandell and Chambers will help the company to meet this immense demand. 

"This is a critical time in the American education system, with students facing unprecedented learning loss. Inequality and socioeconomic factors have a disproportionate impact too. Unless these students can be adequately supported, the national cost in human potential will be tremendous. Jen and Mara are world-class entrepreneurs who are democratizing access to high-dosage tutoring, delivered with the highest efficacy at scale," said Chambers. 

"I believe Braintrust has only scratched the surface of this opportunity, and I couldn't be more thrilled to partner with the enterprise to transform the lives of the most deserving students," added Sandell.

BOSTON - November 14, 2022 - (Newswire.com)

For nine consecutive years, Frederica M. Williams, president and CEO of Whittier Street Health Center, a community health center with a mission to serve as a center of excellence that provides high-quality and accessible health care and social services that achieve health equity, social justice, and the economic well-being of a diverse patient population, has been named as head of one of the "Top 100 Women-Led Businesses in Massachusetts, 2022" by The Women's Edge (formerly The Commonwealth Institute) and the Globe Magazine.

The 22nd annual Top 100 rankings were announced at an Oct. 28 awards breakfast, and the list was published in the "Women & Power" issue of The Boston Globe Magazine on Oct. 30. The ranking of the Top 100 Women-Led Businesses in Massachusetts list is based on an algorithm that factors in revenue, as well as diversity, innovation, and customer benefits.

"The Women's Edge is recognized for championing women leaders to achieve professional and personal success," said Williams. "With so many contributions from women throughout the years and with women still making strides and being 'firsts' in history, it's important to honor these accomplishments. It's especially important for women and girls to learn about the great hurdles women have and continue to overcome, so they are empowered to attain their goals." 

In addition to the Top 100 honor, Williams was featured in an article appearing in the Oct. 30th Boston Globe Magazine. 

Williams was among 11 women leaders asked to share insights on cultivating diverse, dynamic teams in challenging times and is quoted as saying, "There are many management issues, politics, and relentless challenges that can make any leader pause and reflect. I always go back to the mission. It puts everything into perspective and re-energizes the reason why we do this work."

The Women's Edge is a nonprofit organization. Its membership includes CEOs, corporate executives, entrepreneurs, directors of nonprofits, independent professionals, and the rising generation of leaders who are committed to building successful businesses, organizations, and careers.
