After investing some 15 million euros in France-based OneDirect a few weeks ago, Belgian VC fund Gimv has just announced that it is dropping 4.9 million euros on a Vente-Priv�e competitor called Private Outlet. This investments brings the company's second round of funding to 9 million euros and should add a bit of monetary fuel to its international development.
