REJI Fund Launches: Backing Europe’s Overlooked Founders

REJI Fund Team

REJI Fund officially launches its first investment round, committing capital to racialised and marginalised entrepreneurs across Europe.

Despite making up a growing share of Europe’s entrepreneurial population, founders from racialised backgrounds receive less than 0.5% of venture capital on the continent. REJI Fund was created to close that gap — not through charity, but through direct investment and strategic support.

This first round will support early-stage founders across sectors including fintech, edtech, climate, and social enterprise. Selected founders will receive grant funding alongside access to the REJI network of mentors, co-investors, and institutional partners.

Applications are now open. Visit our For Founders page to check eligibility and apply.
