Bridge in the News

Posted: February 3rd, 2015 | Author: Michael Goldstein | | No Comments »

Hi folks –

A few news stories about Bridge.

1. CNBC video here about our co-founders.

Accompanying article

2. Fast Company here about:

The Girl Effect Accelerator, a partnership between the Nike Foundation and Unreasonable Group, has a singular mission: to scale up projects in the developing world that benefit girls in poverty. Launched in November 2014, the two-week program offered mentorship, financing, and networking to 10 for-profit projects, with the ultimate goal of rapidly scaling them up.

The Girl Effect Accelerator is an investor in Bridge.

3. Last, the Bill and Melinda Gates 2015 Annual Letter has a photo of Bridge (they’re investors). It’s worth reading for a broad view of progress and challenges in the developing world (as well as USA ed reform).

I'm Mike Goldstein, founder of Match Education, and the Charles Sposato Graduate School of Education, both in Boston. I happily worked there from 1998 to 2013, and am now a board member and volunteer advisor.

In May 2013 I began work with Bridge International Academies, a rapidly growing network of 134 schools in Kenya. Background story in NY Times here. I'm excited and daunted by the challenge.

Over the years, I've served on various advisory boards, including transition teams for the past two MA governors (Deval Patrick and Mitt Romney), the National Council for Teacher Quality, Harvard's Futures of School Reform, Boston Schoolchildren's Consortium, Blue Engine, Blueprint Schools, Lee Academy Pilot School, and Education Sector.
