- What makes investors tick
We believe that real-world problems provide the biggest opportunities.
Pressing challenges like the climate crisis, inequality, and health. We look for founders who share that belief and have the ambition to build solutions that prove it.
We invest in ideas that harness the functions of technology - speed, scale and affordability, and business models where positive impact is innate and integral. We exist for founders that want to build the world’s biggest tech companies not for glory, but for good.
We think founders need less backseat drivers and more helpful navigators.
Newsletters, events, expert guides, slack channels and meetups. Take a look at our founder resources to help you start, launch or grow your tech for good venture. Open to all.
We help you take the first jump and then join you on the journey.
The journey of every company we work with starts on our Tech For Good Programme. We then help you grow through our Post-Programme Support and The BGV Platform. Our Follow-On Fund allows us to further invest into the most promising BGV portfolio companies.
We've been featured in the likes of The Guardian, BBC and The Telegraph.

Diversity & inclusion
Diversity and inclusion isn’t an add-on for us. It’s a thread that runs through everything we do. We rank second globally for our diversity and inclusion efforts.
Are you our next investment?
Not everyone can raise a first ‘friends and family’ round to help them launch a startup. But anyone with a tech for good idea can apply to BGV. We use a fair application process where no warm intro is needed.
