Jana Budkovskaja

Partner | Better Fund

Jana is the founder and leader of Prototron, an early-stage tech ideas fund based in Estonia. With a non-dilutive investment model, the best teams can receive up to 35,000 eur in funding. Jana and her team were early believers in successful companies like Comodule, Lingvist, and Bikeep when they were just team-and-dream.Throughout her career, Jana has worked in male-dominated sectors, including public sector and politics, and technology as a physicist. As a woman from a minority and a low-opportunity region, Jana knows firsthand what it's like to come from "nothing." This experience has made her an excellent mentor for those who are looking to make a change in the startup world.Jana firmly believes that to make a change in the tech world, we need resources, and The Better Fund is one such resource. The Better Fund provides women and gender-balanced teams with the resources they need to run impactful startups. For everyone, The Better Fund is a resource for changing the world.
