Bethnal Green Ventures

Overall

BGV is a great place to work if you're looking to work with folk who are driven to support founders building amazing products and services for a better world and planet. Aside from a shared mission and vision, there's lots of autonomy to contribute to the company's goals, and lots of scope to try and test new things and share learnings.

😎 Autonomy
BGV empowers each team member to take leadership in their role and
enables team members to contribute and lead projects from day one.

📣 Mission & Purpose
BGV aims to improve the lives of millions of people which is evident through BGV's actions and portfolio of companies. As an employee, it's clear that BV's values are considered and core to any action the business makes to contribute towards the mission of the business.

👻 Transparency
BGV is incredibly transparent in all areas of the business. From decision making to progression frameworks. It allows employees to understand each area of the business and to be more collaborative.

📣 Mission & Purpose
Mission and purpose are at the core of every BGV activity. Whether we are considering an investment, organising events, or implementing a new HR policy, we make sure to consider its impact on people and the planet.

👭 Inclusivity
For me, this is the area where BGV excels and always strives to improve. In the last few years, we have systematised some processes around diversity and inclusion and communicated openly about our values to founders and the public. Some of the initiatives that promote inclusion are in this deck: https://www.slideshare.net/bethnalgreenventures/diversity-and-inclusion-at-bethnal-green-ventures.

🤩 Flat hierarchy
Everyone's opinion is considered equally, irrespective of how long they have been at the company or seniority level. I also love that our Managing Partners get stuck in work the same way as everyone else - it sets a great example to others.
