Bethnal Green Ventures

Bethnal Green Ventures (BGV) is Europe's leading early-stage 'tech for good' VC, backing ambitious and diverse founders using technology to tackle pressing social and environmental challenges at scale. BGV invests in businesses where commercial growth means greater positive impact — targeting three core themes: a more sustainable planet, an inclusive society, and healthy lives. The firm enters as a founder's first investor through its flagship six-week Tech for Good Programme (£60,000 for ~7% equity), then follows on from pre-seed through Series A/B in its most promising portfolio companies. Managing around £50 million in assets, BGV has backed over 200 ventures and prioritises diverse founding teams, consistently ranking as the top UK firm for diversity and inclusion in the global Inclusive PE & VC Index.
