Investment thesis

BONVENTURE positions capital as a catalyst for change, pursuing both measurable social/environmental impact and financial return. The firm invests in mission-driven startups across four priority areas: digital health, equality and education, climate and nature, and sustainable consumption. It backs authentic, driven and diverse founders who want impact and return alike, and supports them to scale transformative ideas while ensuring reliability for investors. Having invested since 2003 across its BONVENTURE fund family (now on its fifth fund, BV5), the firm emphasizes genuine impact over ESG labels.
