Here’s a quick summer round-up from Ascension and our portfolio companies.
Ascension Fund III Invests in Hesta Health We’re thrilled to welcome a new addition to our portfolio – Hesta Health. The team at Hesta is redesigning the “front door” to women’s healthcare, starting with postnatal care and building the foundations for a fully integrated, life-stage platform that supports women throughout their entire health journey.
Ascension Fund III’s investment thesis is rooted in the belief that systemic inequality is one of the defining challenges of our time, and that tech innovation, when channelled correctly, is uniquely capable of addressing it at scale.

Congratulations to Josephine Philips and the Sojo team, who have launched three new sites in just six weeks – including a flagship at Westfield in Paris. If you’re nearby and need a repair, be sure to pop into one of their stores.
The Electric Car Scheme Launched ‘The Charge Scheme’
The first of its kind employee benefit that makes EV charging fairer, easier, and more affordable.
Employees can now save 20 – 50% on charging costs at home, at work, or on the road, whether they drive a company car or use salary sacrifice.
By helping employees save and businesses offer sustainable benefits, it’s a simple step with a big impact on your journey to Net Zero.
Wagestream Acquired Pensions Company Zippen
Over £31bn in unclaimed pensions sit idle in the UK – with lower and middle income workers missing out the most. This acquisition strengthens Wagestream’s mission to improve financial wellbeing for every worker, now extending from flexible pay all the way to retirement planning.
As we reach the final stretch of the year, we’re proud of the momentum across our portfolio and energised by what’s still to come!
