Borski Fund

Borski Fund is a venture capital firm based in Amsterdam, established in 2019 by Simone Brummelhuis and Laura Rooseboom. The firm is dedicated to narrowing the funding gap for women-led startups by investing in businesses with female founders or those developing innovative products and services for women. Borski Fund's investment focus spans sectors such as healthcare, circular energy, and future societies, aiming to promote inclusive innovation and economic growth.

The firm's investment strategy targets early-stage companies, including Pre-Seed, Seed, Early Stage, Series A, Series B, Growth, and Late Stage ventures. Borski Fund primarily operates within the Netherlands, seeking to empower female entrepreneurs and foster diversity in the startup ecosystem. The fund's portfolio encompasses a diverse range of industries, including healthcare, circular energy, future societies, fintech, software, AI, digital health, eCommerce & retail, life sciences & healthtech, and lifestyle, leisure & entertainment.

Borski Fund has demonstrated a commitment to supporting diverse entrepreneurship through significant investments. In January 2025, M&G Investments contributed over €9 million, bringing the fund's total size to €50 million. This investment underscores the growing interest of international institutional investors in promoting inclusiveness and impact-driven entrepreneurship. The fund's portfolio includes notable companies such as ANTENNEX, a pioneer in advanced antenna measurement solutions, and CarbonX, a Dutch deep tech startup developing sustainable carbon anode materials for electric vehicle batteries. Borski Fund's approach combines financial support with mentorship and access to an extensive network, aiming to create a more equitable funding landscape for women entrepreneurs.

Borski Fund's mission is to create a more equal funding landscape and harness the untapped potential of women entrepreneurs. By focusing on companies led by women or those developing products and services for women, the fund seeks to address the underrepresentation of female founders in the venture capital space. Through its investments, Borski Fund aims to drive innovation, promote diversity, and contribute to the economic empowerment of women in the Netherlands and beyond.
