Privilège Ventures launches $20M fund investing in women-led startups - TechCrunch.

Lugano, Switzerland-based venture capital fund Privilège Ventures just launched its fourth fund. The CHF 20 million (just over $20 million) fund is earmarked for women-led early-stage startups across Europe.

“We don’t just want to support women,” Jacqueline Ruedin Rüsch, founding general partner at Privilège Ventures said in an interview with TechCrunch. “The data shows women in the driver’s seat produce better ROI.”

The firm says that its investment thesis is based on the statistical evidence that women perform better than men in leadership roles.
