The challenge
Founders using technology to tackle pressing social and environmental issues need early-stage funding and support. Traditional venture capital often overlooks early-stage founders, particularly those from more diverse backgrounds.
The approach
Bethnal Green Ventures exists to bridge the gap between tech entrepreneurship and impact, investing in ambitious and diverse founders using technology to create positive impact at scale.
The Fund
BGV invests in founders through its flagship tech for good accelerator programme, which is helping to address the gap in investment and support for very early-stage tech-for-good ventures. BGV also makes follow-on investments as these organizations scale and seek further funding.
