Edge Growth
Leading Growth. Igniting Impact.
We’ve been committed to job creation through the growth of Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) since 2007 and we’ve proven that a holistic, end-to-end approach to ESD is the only way to deliver measureable impact. Success requires removing any and all of the growth constraints facing SMEs – financial and non-financial.

WHAT WE DO:
INVEST: Edge uses multiple origination channels, developed over many years, to partner with early stage businesses where we can apply our unique combination of finance and acceleration services to achieve high returns. Very few others are investing in this space, creating a significant opportunity to back the best entrepreneurs.
ACCELERATE: Edge also delivers comprehensive scale-up support via our accelerator programme, 10X-e. With almost a decade of experience in supporting the growth of SMEs, we are able to mitigate the challenges early stage investments face in achieving scale and sustainability.
