Bethnal Green Ventures — Tech for Good 2027
Timing first: applications for the Autumn 2026 programme have closed, that cohort starts in September 2026, and Bethnal Green Ventures has not published a date for the next call. Anyone reading this now is waiting on that announcement rather than preparing an application.
The programme itself is three months in London for startups with a social or environmental purpose, most often in climate or health.
Investment is GBP 60,000 on fixed, non-negotiable terms. There is nothing to negotiate, which saves time, but founders take the standard deal as written and equity does change hands. This is not a non-dilutive route.
What it actually costs you
Bethnal Green Ventures backs startups with a social or environmental purpose, particularly in climate and health, through a three-month programme in London. Investment is GBP 60,000 on fixed, non-negotiable terms, which removes any negotiation but means founders accept the standard deal as written. Equity is taken, so this is not a non-dilutive route.
