More capital to promote diversity in venture capital.<\/strong><\/h6>\n

Borski Fund invests in innovative technology companies with diverse founding teams, with a specific focus on enterprises led by women. The investment from M&G Investments strengthens Borski Fund in pursuing its mission: creating a more equitable financing landscape and leveraging the untapped potential of female entrepreneurs. <\/p>\n

Simone Brummelhuis, Founding Partner Borski Fund:<\/p>\n

\u201cOnly one percent of venture capital is invested in teams led by women, while as much as 94 percent goes to teams led by men, despite research consistently showing that diverse teams are more innovative and deliver better performance. M&G now joins our valued group of limited partners, all of whom are dedicated to supporting and promoting Borski’s mission to empower exceptional female founders and their startups.\u201d<\/p>\n

A powerful step in the growth strategy.<\/h6>\n

Since its inception, the fund has invested in promising technology companies with female founders and mixed teams. These include Soft Revolt, a lingerie brand that pushes boundaries; VivArt-X, a pioneer in biomaterials for personalized breast reconstruction and regeneration; and CarbonX, which offers a sustainable, cost-efficient alternative to graphite in the production of batteries for electric vehicles. With the expansion of the fund, Borski Fund can further grow its portfolio and support even more entrepreneurs in realizing groundbreaking innovations. <\/p>\n

\u201cThis is one of the largest investments in the history of Borski Fund. Even more importantly, it is a strong endorsement from one of the most leading and successful international savings and investment companies,\u201d said a proud Simone Brummelhuis.<\/p>\n

Alex Seddon, Head of Private Equity and Impact at M&G Investments:<\/h6>\n

\u201cWe are pleased to announce our commitment to Borski Fund, an impactful company taking bold steps to address the critical funding gap faced by women-led businesses. As with our recent contributions to Bethnal Green Ventures and Pact, two other women-led funds in Europe, our investment in Borski Fund confirms our commitment to doing our part for a more inclusive society.\u201d<\/p>\n
