Bootstrap 4F Backs Evertrue Capital I Fund
The early-stage fund, led by founder and general partner Yvonne Bajela, received an undisclosed commitment from Bootstrap 4F's women-led venture managers program.
Updated on Nov. 3, 2026 in Startups
Bootstrap 4F committed capital to Evertrue Capital I LP in June, a fund led by founder and general partner Yvonne Bajela, with the amount undisclosed. The commitment was among the first made through Bootstrap 4F's program for women-led venture managers.
Why it matters
The commitment adds institutional backing to an early-stage fund that focuses predominantly on founders with European roots while also considering investments elsewhere. It also reflects a broader effort to direct capital toward women-led venture managers.
Ten funds were named by the British Business Bank for its Investor Pathways Capital initiative, with no allocation specified for Evertrue. Bootstrap 4F's commitment amount to Evertrue Capital I LP was not disclosed.

British Business Bank

Market Landscape
The Evertrue commitment sits within the British Business Bank's Investor Pathways Capital initiative, which named 10 funds for planned support. This places a UK-government-linked development bank alongside private limited partners in backing early-stage European-focused venture capital.
For founders seeking early-stage capital, this commitment signals that women-led and Europe-focused funds are attracting institutional limited partners. Founders should note that the commitment amount and the British Business Bank allocation remain undisclosed.
The takeaway
Early-stage founders should track which funds are attracting public and institutional backing, since those commitments can signal where capital is moving. Specific allocation figures remain unpublished, so rely on confirmed announcements before drawing conclusions.
