"We couldn't have had a better investor to set us on our journey, than Ascension. Jean and Emma were central to our early growth and continue to support us as we build and lead a social impact business in the financial wellbeing category."

"Having the right partners onboard for a start-up is key. We are really proud to join the Ascension portfolio, not least because of their track record in helping companies scale but also their focus on tech, impact and diverse founders."

Esther O'Callaghan

Co-Founder & CEO, Hundo

"We are grateful for the constant support Ascension offers us as an investor. As one of the first to support us back in 2016, Ascension continues to help, with game-changing introductions and a top tier events schedule. Ascension is one of the top early-stage VCs."

Aron Alexander

Founder & CEO, Runa

"I was drawn to Ascension due to some of their specialist funds. I’ve since come to also appreciate their central role in funding early stage businesses and the significant benefits this brings throughout the business journey."

Anthony Fletcher

CEO, Urban Legend

"Ascension continues to back high-growth tech businesses here in the UK and given the alignment with similar business-for-good start-ups within the portfolio, they were the obvious strategic choice for us at HURR."

Victoria Prew

"I have enjoyed every interaction with the Ascension team who supported me long before their initial investment. Emma and Jean are the most approachable and down to earth investors I have worked with during my journey and have consistently supported the company during the tougher times as well as sharing in our successes."
