This report sets out the early economic impact of the ImpactU Pathfinder Award, the pre-seed loan scheme covered throughout. It looks at three things: how much independent capital the loans have helped attract, how many jobs would not otherwise exist, and what returns to the public purse once loan repayment and tax on those jobs are taken into account.
It is written for ImpactU, its funders, and anyone weighing whether the scheme represents good value for public money.
