Should older founders go all-in on their startup idea?

If you’re an older (dare I say ‘especially female’) person, with responsibilities like a mortgage, children to feed and elderly parents to support, it’s rarely a wise decision to go all in on a startup.

So is launching your own business simply not feasible? 😶

Quite the contrary.

At DQventures we actively seek senior professionals who haven’t yet gone all-in to start their business, because it’s not the sensible thing to do.

Risk is not equal for all people, and our thesis is that this risk is holding back some of the world’s most promising entrepreneurs, and most exciting innovations.

Invariably those with more experience (i.e. older founders) have an unfair advantage over those with less.

Who wouldn’t want to back a subject-matter expert, who knows their industry and problems better than anyone else on the planet? 🚀

More support needs to be made available for experienced people who aren’t able to go all-in.

We’re putting our hands up.

If you have—or know someone who has—an idea for a business, but you’re not sure how to get started, drop us a line.

We’d love to see what you have up your sleeve.
