Bridges Ventures LLP

Bridges Ventures was founded in 2002  with the vision that  hands-on investment and entrepreneurial talent can be used to address some of the challenges facing our society, as well as drive sustainable growth.

Our investment strategy is to focus on opportunities where investments can generate investor returns through helping meet pressing social or environmental challenges – be it backing businesses that generate jobs in underserved markets, or building environmentally friendly care homes for the elderly to sustain an ageing population, or providing flexible financing for innovative community transport models.

In pursuing this strategy over the last twelve  years we have innovated a range of investment vehicles across three main fund types – Sustainable Growth Funds, Property Funds and Social Sector Funds – and we are building a strong track record of financial and societal returns.

We have benefited enormously from the leadership and guidance of our founding Chairman, Sir Ronald Cohen, and from the private equity firms and entrepreneurs – Apax Partners, 3i, Doughty Hanson and Tom Singh –  that have backed us since inception.
