Is there no equivalent of the NW Fund in Scotland? http://www.thenorthwestfund.co.uk/

We've got things like the West of Scotland Loan Fund and similar schemes. The equity or loan funding support is better, but there's still essentially a large degree of inefficiency and a lack of effectiveness in the process because you've got teams making decisions on who to pick without the benefit of any randomised evaluation, so you're not gathering any objective data on what's actually effective.
