Bethnal Green Ventures Q&A: Achieving the Global Goals

This Q&A event is exclusively for startups thinking about applying to the Global Goals strand of the Bethnal Green Ventures (BGV) accelerator programme.

BGV is an early stage investor in ventures using technology to radically change people’s lives for the better, and we are on a mission to support startups working on international development.

Our accelerator programme provides investment, support and intensive mentoring to great teams with new ideas for using technology to tackle big social and environmental problems. Over five years we’ve supported over 100 teams and have helped to grow successful startups such as Fairphone, DrDoctor and Open Utility.

This Q&A event will give you the chance to meet our team and our partners for the Global Goals theme, angel investors Andy Wales and Ed Gillespie, and find out more about the investment and support available from BGV.
