THE FOUNDER
"I build the infrastructure other people use to build their futures."
Yan Lawrence is a founder, ecosystem builder, and strategist who has spent over a decade creating pathways between education, workforce, and economic opportunity. From quantitative analysis at Bank of America and the NBA to running five active franchise locations and securing district contracts across the country — her work is hands-on and systems-level at the same time.

The LVG Thesis
Most people think opportunity is scarce. We think it's hidden.
There are students who will never discover the career that was built for them. Founders who will never find the partner they needed. Communities that will never access the capital, programs, or networks that could change their trajectory — not because those things don't exist, but because no one built the infrastructure to connect them.
Lawrence Venture Group exists to change that.
We acquire, build, and scale mission-aligned companies at the intersection of education, technology, workforce development, and economic mobility. Every company in our portfolio is a piece of that infrastructure — a system designed to close the gap between where people are and where they could go.
|Innovation creates opportunity.
|Execution creates value.
|Ownership builds legacy.
