Analysis and action on living standards
Launched in 2020, the Workertech Partnership is the UK’s first social investment fund focused on low-paid work. We aim to invest in purpose-driven entrepreneurs, applying technology and data to improve aspects of low-paid and precarious work, an area of innovation being largely neglected by both large institutions and mainstream venture investors.
In the course of the last three years, we have invested in new companies, supported their impact journeys, built up a supportive ecosystem, published research and created events, which together have created an emerging and exciting Workertech community in the UK.
