Its mandate is unusual in the Netherlands. It funds female or female co-led founding teams specifically, rather than acting as a general early-stage investor open to any team.
About
Borski Fund is a Dutch venture capital fund built around closing the gender funding gap: it invests specifically in startups that are female-led or female co-led. It operates through two related legal entities, Borski Fund Cooperatief U.A. and Borski Management B.V., both based in Amsterdam. The fund backs companies from early stage through to growth and scale-up, concentrated in three sectors, Women's Health, Climate Technology and Future Society Technology, with a geographic focus on Western Europe and the United Kingdom. It describes itself as an active rather than a passive investor, working alongside the founders it backs and connecting them with advisors, talent and customers as well as providing capital. Borski Fund began as a joint venture between the StartGreen Capital group and The Next Women, and it is named after Johanna Borski, a nineteenth century Dutch investor. It publishes a portfolio of the companies it has backed and accepts pitches from founders through its website.
