An investment fund focused on investing in companies that aim to reduce the gender gap.

Borski Fund

Wist u dat slechts 5% van alle Venture Capital investeringen worden verstrekt aan gemende teams van mannen en vrouwen. Slechts 1% wordt geïnvesteerd in teams met alleen vrouwen en 94%(!) van de Venture Capital investeringen komt terecht bij teams met alleen maar mannen. Tegelijkertijd blijkt uit onderzoek dat diverse teams innovatiever zijn en beter presteren.

Wij geloven in diversiteit, gendergelijkheid en eerlijke kansen. Wij investeren in vrouwelijke ondernemers omdat we met hen goede bedrijven willen bouwen, omdat hun talent beter benut moet worden, omdat wij hun natuurlijke partner zijn, omdat wij het netwerk hebben dat voor hen van belang is. Omdat het van belang is dat innovatie vanuit vrouwelijke ondernemers wordt gestimuleerd.

Welkom bij Borski Fund. Heeft u een startend of groeibedrijf dat de potentie heeft om (verder) te groeien? En bestaat het team (mede) uit 1 of meerdere vrouwen, die het bedrijf leiden en ook aandelen houden in het bedrijf? Of heeft u een bedrijf dat gericht is op vrouwen? En bent u op zoek naar durfkapitaal? Dan willen wij graag meer van u, uw team en uw plannen weten.

We're proud to share a short film featuring the great people (and their bitesize interviews) that made our June 13th London Tech Week event at the beautiful London Stock Exchange, such a brilliant and impactful day. 

If you have somehow missed the backstory, our event - "Shape the Future - Scaling Diverse Nordic Tech Companies Internationally,” featured 16 diverse, top, tech companies from the Nordics, selected from regional pitch contests in #Stockholm, #Helsinki, #Oslo, and #Copenhagen, who met, and pitched in front of, UK and international investors, during London Tech Week.

See how diverse our pitching companies and investors were, the high quality speakers who joined us, listen to the positive opinions from our returning guests on what a valuable event it was - oh, and don't miss the cool view! 🇬🇧
