Borski Fund is a Venture Capital Fund investing in companies with female (co-)founders. At the moment only 5% of all Venture Capital investment goes to diverse teams made up of both males and females, and 1% is invested in all-female teams. At the same time, research shows that diverse teams are more innovative and perform better overall. We believe that improving access to financing for female entrepreneurs that are looking to contribute to a better world is one of the key ways of addressing the investment diversity gap. Show less
