The venture catalyst: How Carol Schwartz is changing the game for women-led businesses

Carol Schwartz is one of Australia’s most influential investors, pouring millions of dollars into women-led start-ups. The Reserve Bank of Australia board member also co-founded Scale Investors. This female-led start-up accelerator has injected more than $20 million into 46 businesses now worth an estimated half a billion dollars. More recently, her focus has shifted to investing in female venture capitalists – a move she hopes will help flip the switch in gender equality globally.
