Queens Gaming Collective raises $1.5 million for women-led gaming lifestyle brand

Queens Gaming Collective has raised $1.5 million for a women-led gaming lifestyle brand that celebrates diversity in the male-dominated game business.

The Los Angeles company is being built by women for women to claim what’s theirs in an industry with 2.6 billion gamers, close to half of them women, said CEO Alisa Jacobs in an interview with GamesBeat. The goal is to build a group of women gamers, dubbed Queens, into a more powerful group of influencers and media celebrities than they can be on their own.
