Updated: Feb 11, 2022





Startupbootcamp, the world's largest industry-focused accelerator, is proud to announce the launch of its new Sustainable Fintech Fund. This $5,000,000 fund will be deployed over a three-year period to invest in 30 global startups focused on one of the largest issues of our time: bringing and driving sustainability in finance. Having already built a portfolio of over 1,000 startups globally, the Sustainable Fintech Fund is built to derisk the sometimes risky process of early-stage startup investment.


Having started in 2009 in Europe, Startupbootcamp (SBC) has now accelerated over 1,000 startups through our programs around the world. Importantly, in an industry where 90% of startups fail, 76%of Startupbootcamp's global portfolio is still active. SBC has a proven track record of ensuring our startups succeed and stay successful for years to come.
