Vela Fund

Vela Fund is named in Charles & Chase Koch on How They Quietly Built a $150B Empire as one of the education efforts supported by Stand Together. The source groups it with Alpha School, Khan Academy, and more than 5,000 seeded schools.

In the source, Vela Fund functions as an example of Barrier-Removal Social Change in education: backing alternative or entrepreneurial school models instead of assuming the conventional system already lets every learner discover gifts and motivation.
