Bethnal Green Ventures (BGV) is an early stage investor and support programme for ambitious tech for good founders. We provide investment, support and intensive mentoring to great teams with new ideas for using technology to tackle big social and environmental problems.

Our next 12 week accelerator programme starts in September 2017 and applications are open from 3rd May until 19th June. If you’re thinking of applying or want to find out more about BGV investment then this Q&A event is for you.
