Unicorns in the UK
from Investors for Purpose: the investment ecosystem · host Pensions For Purpose
The UK punches above its weight when it comes to unicorns, startup companies valued at over $1 billion. Many of these companies are doing exciting and important work needed to drive forward climate transition. Although there are a number of overseas institutional investors which allocate to this kind of venture capital, a very small number of UK pension funds are currently investing in UK clean technology startups. In this episode of the Investors for Purpose Podcast, we are joined by Beverley Gower-Jones and Lauren Juiiff from the Clean Growth Fund to talk about why that is, bust some myths, and share a message of optimism and hope for the potential for some big win-win-win investments.
