| Draper Richards Kaplan Foundation (DRK) | Draper Richards Kaplan Foundation (DRK), in partnership with NextLadder Ventures (NLV), launched a new initiative to back early-stage, impact-first organizations using technology and AI to help low-income Americans navigate economic opportunities and challenges. Tens of millions of low-income Americans qualify for benefits they never receive, sit on housing waitlists that never move, and navigate health systems that were not built for them. Fragmented systems, paper workflows, and overworked navigators combine to leave the people who most need support locked out of programs designed to serve them. AI and modern software create new opportunities to make complex systems and markets easier to navigate for frontline workers – including case managers, legal aid attorneys, career counselors, or community health workers – and the people they serve. To help expand the reach of these solutions, DRK is providing catalytic capital and hands-on support to early-stage companies and nonprofits creating new pathways for economic mobility. | Rolling |
