Wist u dat slechts 5% van alle Venture Capital investeringen worden verstrekt aan gemende teams van mannen en vrouwen. Slechts 1% wordt geïnvesteerd in teams met alleen vrouwen en 94%(!) van de Venture Capital investeringen komt terecht bij teams met alleen maar mannen. Tegelijkertijd blijkt uit onderzoek dat diverse teams innovatiever zijn en beter presteren. Wij geloven in diversiteit, gendergelijkheid en eerlijke kansen. Wij investeren in vrouwelijke ondernemers omdat we met hen goede bedrijven willen bouwen, omdat hun talent beter benut moet worden, omdat wij hun natuurlijke partner zijn, omdat wij het netwerk hebben dat voor hen van belang is. Omdat het van belang is dat innovatie vanuit vrouwelijke ondernemers wordt gestimuleerd. Welkom bij Borski Fund. Heeft u een startend of groeibedrijf dat de potentie heeft om (verder) te groeien? En bestaat het team (mede) uit 1 of meerdere vrouwen, die het bedrijf leiden en ook aandelen houden in het bedrijf? Of heeft u een bedrijf dat gericht is op vrouwen? En bent u op zoek naar durfkapitaal? Dan willen wij graag meer van u, uw team en uw plannen weten.

Ambo Ventures is a venture capital investment firm raising $50M to invest in impact-driven and socially responsible startups across different countries in Africa. Our intention is to help create self-sustaining ecosystems across our geographies. We identify critical obstacles to the creation of value in ecosystems and invest in a portfolio of complementary companies that, together, can unblock the value chain. Our current deal flow stems from Kenya, Morocco and Nigeria and we’ll be focussing on Series A/B, with opportunistic seed investments. We invest in companies that are reducing core infrastructure costs and accelerating income growth. Our investments protect biodiversity and reduce carbon (a carbon-free future is the only future), empower women, and increase incomes. Ambo will be facilitating annual impact metric reporting for our portfolio companies, focusing on these core objectives. We expect gross fund returns to be driven by (i) exits and (ii) transactions in the carbon offset market.
