UK debt lender Othrfund says it has put £30m to work across Europe since August 2025.

Now it’s taking the model to the US, with about half of a planned £50m heading over there.

Milton Berle hit the nail on the head: "If #opportunity doesn't knock, build a door." Instead of seeing a sluggish #job market as a dead end, think of it as a toolbelt. Necessity forces #founders to solve real problems with #lean, practical models.

Grant capital vs. earned revenue — the terms nobody explains. Grants are strings-attached and time-limited. Earned revenue is slower but yours. Founders deserve to know the difference. #entrepreneurialecosystems #founders #economicdevelopment #emergingmarkets #impactinvestment

What the scoring model doesn't have: a way to see a founder who's been running a successful business for 10 years but has never had a bank account. The data exists. The model just isn't looking. #entrepreneurialecosystems #founders #emergingmarkets #economicdevelopment #impactinvestment
