Our sixth Venture Builder, beginning in April 2023, will focus on the mission: to transform people’s financial resilience. 

Many people have been suffering a cost of living crisis for decades. This year, that crisis has spread to most of the population, causing a major shock across the developed world.

Whilst the immediate issues of rising energy costs and the COVID pandemic have tipped a lot of people over the edge, the underlying economic insecurities have been building for a long time.

Just as worryingly, the majority of middle-aged people are on course to become financially fragile in the future, as they are not building enough assets for their retirement. We can’t predict the future, but it seems highly likely that there will be more shocks to come, from the automation of jobs, military conflicts, the shift to net zero, to new health threats, and more.

In this mission, we want to empower middle-aged people to turn uncertainty into opportunity, to seize technology and make it work for them, to reinvent their lives (not be reinvented by others) and to achieve the financial security they need to navigate their own way through a changing and uncertain world.
