The challenge

Balderton Capital aims to invest in the UK and Europe’s best growth stage technology companies, many of which have the potential to deliver strong economic, social and/or environmental outcomes on a transformative scale.

Our approach

To provide delivery organisations with the upfront investment needed to deliver services through Social Outcomes Contracts, where that investment is repaid if and only if targeted outcomes are achieved and evidenced.

The fund

The £10 million fund invests into Social Outcomes Contracts – partnerships between charities, social enterprises and government commissioners designed to deliver better outcomes for services users and better value for commissioners.
