“We should never assume that technology is ‘neutral’. How we design, build and use it determines whether it will be a force for good.”

Hello! I’m Paul Miller, and I’ve spent my career exploring how technology can be a force for good.

As Managing Partner of Bethnal Green Ventures since 2012, I’ve backed over 200 startups tackling challenges in health, climate, education, and civic life. I care about technology that’s human-centered and built for long-term positive impact.

I speak regularly at global events and conferences on topics like responsible innovation, ethical AI, impact investing and the future of tech for good. I also help and advise senior leaders in companies and governments to explore the potential of tech for good.

Helping shape a better future—

as an investor,

speaker,

and advisor.

I’m Managing Partner and CEO of Bethnal Green Ventures, Europe’s leading early-stage investor in tech for good startups.

We back founders using technology to tackle big social and environmental challenges—everything from mental health to climate action.

Through BGV, I’ve worked with over 200 tech for good startups. The journey of every portfolio company we work with starts on our Tech For Good Programme. If you’re interested, you can find out more here.

Fear. Magic. And a whole lot of impact.

Invite me to speak at your event

I'm a regular speaker, panelist and moderator at events around the world. From huge tech and investment events like London Tech Week, Gitex, Slush or Vivatech through to more intimate presentations at board meetings and retreats. I love telling the stories of the tech for good founders we work with and getting audiences to really think about the role that technology could play in improving our lives.
