About us

As entrepreneurs ourselves, we share with founders the desire to build successful companies, the ambition to disrupt their respective industries and to create immeasurable value for the ecosystem.

“Supporting and working alongside with exceptional entrepreneurs is extremely rewarding. We can have an impact on shaping their company and contribute to their success. Ultimately, this will be a team success.”

Jacqueline Ruedin Rüsch

“We believe that adopting a founder-friendly practice and having a long-term view is actually beneficial not only to founders but also to us as investors and to our LPs.”

Lucian Wagner

CEO Scouts

We have carefully selected some well-known entrepreneurs to participate in our program. They will be able to deploy a certain amount of money to invest in pre-seed companies within their network and usually in their sector of expertise. By joining our program they will be able to mentor and support new CEOs by sharing their experience.

“Privilége’s scout program offers a new and innovative approach on how the venture ecosystem should work – they trust their founders to grow new founders. We are extremely grateful to have Lea von Bidder as our angel on board, while being pro-actively backed by Jacqueline and her great team!”
