Bridges Inclusive Growth Fund

The challenge

Business can be a powerful engine for delivering better social outcomes. By broadening access to essential goods and services, it can promote inclusion, create economic opportunity, and reduce inequality. However, impact-led businesses with ambitions to scale often struggle to find a values-aligned investment partner to support their growth.

Our approach

Bridges seeks to partner with scalable businesses that have a compelling impact thesis and a high-quality, values-driven management team. Their flexible capital, value creation focus, and dedicated impact management support enables these companies to accelerate their growth and deliver better outcomes for key stakeholders.

The Fund

The Fund offers £5m–£10m in equity investment to support organic growth, strategic acquisitions, or a change of ownership. Its expertise in measuring and improving outcomes, developed through close collaboration with Bridges Outcomes Partnerships, together with access to a broad network of business and sector specialists, ensures a dedicated focus on value creation.
