About

Borski Fund is a pioneering venture capital firm based in Amsterdam that focuses on closing the gender gap in venture capital by investing in companies led by women or gender-diverse teams. Founded in 2019 by Simone Brummelhuis and Laura Rooseboom, Borski Fund is named after Johanna Borski, a 19th-century Dutch financier who was instrumental in funding the Dutch Central Bank. The fund is dedicated to supporting female entrepreneurs and teams with at least one female executive with equity stakes, aiming to foster innovation, inclusivity, and economic growth. Borski Fund’s investment thesis is centered around the belief that diversity leads to better decision-making and stronger business outcomes. The fund’s portfolio includes companies across various sectors, including technology and sustainability, with a particular focus on those driven by data and AI. Borski Fund also stands out due to its collaboration with major partners like the Visa Foundation, which recently contributed to expanding the fund to €40 million. This partnership reflects a shared commitment to promoting gender equality in the startup ecosystem, and the fund has made significant strides in empowering women-led businesses across Europe. By creating opportunities for women and gender-diverse teams, Borski Fund is not only addressing the significant investment gap in venture capital but also championing a more equitable and inclusive business environment.
