We invest in people with lived-experience of the issue they’re solving.

Who We Fund

We back founders who have lived experience of the issue they’re tackling, and who also identify as at least one of the following:

• Black, Asian or from a Minority Ethnic background
• Disabled
• Women
• LGBTQIA+
• From a socio-economically disadvantaged background

If your organisation has a team or a Board, at least 50% must represent one or more of the above groups. We expect a clear commitment to improving diversity, equity and inclusion.
