London-based VC Bethnal Green Ventures (BGV) has secured a first close of £33m for its biggest fund yet, which will back up to 100 startups over the next four years through its flagship Tech For Good Programme. It’s a big step up from its last institutional fund, which closed at £3m in April 2019; since 2019, it's been investing out of this, plus £3m worth of SEIS and EIS funds.
