Fast Forward’s 2024 Impact Report

In 2024, Fast Forward's portfolio organizations shattered expectations, achieving milestones that redefined what's possible in tech for good. Seriously. Like Quill reaching 5% of all K-12 students in the U.S. And Lenny Learning 10x-ing their impact growth. And Koko breaking 160M social media impressions.

The numbers tell an extraordinary story: our portfolio has now secured over $1B in cumulative follow-on funding and positively impacted 262M lives worldwide. Behind these figures are the builders who chose to fix broken systems by putting impact before profit. To dive deeper into these stories, and learn how we supported along the way, explore our 2024 Impact Report.
