Why we have this fund

Warning

This fund closed to bids on 30 August 2024.

The Pathways Fund aims to bring more people into the entrepreneurship pipeline and support them to start, grow and scale their businesses.

The fund will support activity to reach people who might not otherwise consider entrepreneurship and business start-up, encouraging new entrepreneurial talent.  

It will also support those entrepreneurs seeking to grow and scale their businesses.

The Fund seeks to widen participation in business from people in groups historically under-represented in entrepreneurship.

As this fund supports our commitment to the implementation of the Pathways report, particular focus will be on closing the gender gaps in entrepreneurial participation.
