About this grant
Bonventure is an impact venture capital firm, not a grant programme. It invests in impact-driven startups and has been active since 2003, reporting around €100M under management and more than 60 investments. The page promotes its fifth fund, BONVENTURE 5 (BV5), and invites founders to pitch and investors to invest. The firm states that it looks for founders who pursue both true impact and financial return, and who are authentic, driven and diverse. The page names four impact areas: digital health, equality and education, climate and nature, and sustainable consumption. The portfolio section lists five companies: Followfood, Planeteers, ViViRA, Sira, and Fenecon. The page does not describe grant-style funding, application deadlines, or cheque sizes. Interested parties can request fund documents for BONVENTURE 5 through a form, which is a fund information request rather than an application.
