When Gabriela “Gaby” Isturiz created e-billing tool eBillingHub in 2003, she said she was viewed as “not fundable” by the investment community. She said her Venezuelan background and being a woman left most potential investor doors closed.

Now, after selling eBillingHub to Thomson Reuters in 2011, and Aderant acquiring her time entry company Bellefield in 2019, Isturiz launched early stage venture capital vehicle The Fund XX in October to fund the next generation of women-led startups.
