✨ Fox Verdict

Investment thesis

Borski Fund is an early-stage venture capital investor focused on backing female (co)-led companies to close the gender-funding gap in venture capital. It targets startups innovating in women's health, climate technology, and future society technology across the Netherlands, the wider Western Europe region, and the UK. Beyond capital, the fund emphasizes hands-on partnership, offering access to financial and social capital, a network of experts, and operational support from first hire to first market. It positions itself as a 'smart money' partner rather than merely a source of funding, helping early-stage innovations grow into venture-backed scale-ups.
