Digging into Zuckerbergs wife, this thread of info cropped up. It's interesting to follow when viewed with Q's other drops about the intel gathering of FB.
"The Chan Zuckerberg Initiative (CZI) is a limited liability company established and owned by Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg and his wife Priscilla Chan with an investment of "up to $1 billion in Facebook shares in each of the next three years".[2][3][4] Its creation was announced on December 1, 2015, for the birth of their daughter, Maxima Chan Zuckerberg.[2]
The aim of the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative is to "advance human potential and promote equality in areas such as health, education, scientific research and energy".[2] On March 6, 2018 the Harvard Gazette published that the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative would pledge $30 million to the Reach Every Reader project, both Harvard's President Drew Faust and MIT's President L. Rafael Reif were quoted in the article, as was Priscilla Chan, HGSE Dean James E. Ryan, and MIT's Sanjay Sarma, VP for Open Learning at MIT, and others. The article states: "To make significant progress in early literacy at scale, the team will engage in a rigorous, scientific approach to personalized diagnosis and intervention. They will develop and test a scalable, web-based screening tool for reading difficulties that diagnoses the underlying causes, and a set of targeted home/school interventions that change the way we approach intervention for young children with reading difficulties."[5]

The Chan Zuckerberg Initiative's first acquisition took place in January 2017 with the acquisition of Meta Inc., a Toronto-based artificial intelligence scientific literature search engine[7]. The Chan Zuckerberg Initiative chose to invest $24 million in Andela. Andela is a startup focused on training software developers in Africa through their bootcamp and four-year fellowship program, during which they pair their trainees with U.S. companies needing development help. The Chan Zuckerberg Initiative led the company's Series B funding.[8]
On September 8, 2016, education startup Byju's announced raising $50 million in a round co-led by The Chan Zuckerberg Initiative and Sequoia Capital, along with investors Sofina, Lightspeed Venture Partners, and Times Internet. The funding has been raised to fuel their international expansion.[9][10]" - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chan_Zuckerberg_Initiative
Of note, at least to me, were some of the, "investments." Meta in Canada, subject: Search engine AI. Hmmm.
The next one, Andela:
"Andela was founded in 2014 by four professionals who were working in the online education and recruitment business. The founders, Ian Carnevale, Iyinoluwa Aboyeji, Jeremy Johnson from 2U and Christina Sass,[4] started Andela as a training company to match developers in emerging markets not known as technology hubs[5] with North American companies. In June 2016, the company received funding from the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative. In 2017, Andela raised $40 million in Series C funding. The investment came from CRE Venture Capital, DBL Partners, Amplo, Salesforce Ventures and TLcom Capital, becoming one of the most highly funded African companies not based in Africa.[6]" - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andela
