Our programmes increase the volume, diversity and accessibility of longer term equity finance – or patient capital – so that smaller businesses can access the finance they need to realise their growth potential. We achieve this by investing through partners in funds and high-potential businesses.
We launched a new Managed Funds Programme in 2018, designed to attract institutional capital into venture and growth capital.
In October 2018 we launched a Regional Angels Programme, designed to reduce regional imbalances in access to finance.
