Borski Fund

Picture this: 5% of all Venture Capital investment go to diverse teams made up of both males and females. Only 1% is invested in all-female teams. This leaves 94%(!) of VC investments that end up at all-male teams. At the same time, research shows that diverse teams are more innovative and perform better overall.

 

We believe in diversity, gender equality and fair chances. We invest in female entrepreneurs because we want to build great companies with them, because we want them to reach their full potential, because we are a natural business partner, and because we have a network that can help facilitate their goals. It is vitally important that innovation by female entrepreneurs is encouraged more.

Does your team consist of at least one female member, seated at the executive level with an equity stake in the company? Or do you have a company with a dedicated focus on women? And are you raising venture capital? We would love to meet you and your team, and hear about your ambitions.
