Social Tech Trust
VC Fund
Oxford, United Kingdom
Social Tech Trust is a UK's leading dedicated investor of socially motivated tech. They challenge their selves and others to think differently about the relationship between tech and society. Their purpose is to transform lives with tech - The internet has revolutionised their world. They exist to ensure that the ongoing tech revolution delivers positive and equitable social impact: that when their lives are transformed by tech, they are transformed for the better. Their vision is for a world where social transformation is the driving force behind tech - Tech can open up opportunities previously out of reach, creating inspirational change. Their experience shows that when social transformation is the driving force behind tech, it has the greatest potential to improve lives. This is why they want a world where people’s needs inform and shape tech from the outset, to deliver the best return for everyone. They identify where tech has the greatest potential to transform lives, then back people and organisations to demonstrate what’s possible. Building on this knowledge, they seek out and join forces with others to create a supportive environment for those striving to realise the full promise of socially motivated tech. Their core purpose is at the heart of what they do – they transform lives with tech. Whether they are leading the conversation about transformative tech, enabling socially motivated tech ventures to grow, or directly investing in change, they work hard to achieve their vision – and deliver with pride.
