There has never been a better time to develop ideas for using technology to solve some of the toughest challenges we face in the world today. So how do you get a ‘tech for good’ idea off the ground?

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

This event will give you a full understanding of the BGV accelerator programme. You’ll get the chance to meet some of the startups we’ve supported and learn what it’s like to be part of the growing BGV community. You’ll also get a 20 minute 1:1 session with a BGV team member or mentor to chat through your idea and cover off any unanswered questions you might have.
