DQventures helps entrepreneurial people to escape the corporate slog and start their own business. Unlike accelerators or VCs, we work exclusively with senior professionals who still have a job. If you're a subject matter expert; if you deeply understand an important problem; and if you know how to solve it, we could help you start your own venture, not just as advisors, but as co-founders. Perhaps surprisingly, the average age of a successful founder is 45. Sadly, by that age, responsibilities and expenses can make it harder to "just go for it". In fact, leaving a well-paid job and starting from scratch might be a little bit crazy. That's the story behind our name. DQ = don't quit. Instead of risking everything, we believe experienced professionals should de-risk their entrepreneurial journey. They should leverage their unique industry insights by partnering with experts who know how to launch, fund, grow and eventually sell a business. We believe this approach can unleash a new category of entrepreneur, who may otherwise never start their own company. If this is you, or sounds like someone you know, we’d love to hear from you.
