We are working with a seed-stage social impact fund. They invest broadly in firms developing digital technologies for skills needed for work. 54% of employees across the globe will need reskilling by 2022 and, as such, this is a huge opportunity to tap into exciting and fast growing companies.
They typically co-invest, at seed stage with equity cheques of between £150,000 and £250,000. They have so far deployed only £300,000 of a £10,000,000 fund launched in 2019 so it is a fantastic time to join where there is significant dry powder to deploy.
