Why DQventures invests in older founders
Who says you’re too late in life to launch a startup?
More experienced (i.e. older) people make better founders. Fact. But older people don’t start companies because they have more responsibilities, dependents, high salaries and high costs.
DQventures is here for those people.
We’ve raised money from family offices and HNWIs so that we can:
- Invest $50K-worth of time and resources into 30 more portfolio companies (we’ve started 18 since Covid).
- Build your venture from idea to “minimum viable business” in the next 6-to-12 months, while you stay employed and continue to earn your salary.
- Help you get your first paying customers, revenue and/or external funding.
- Help you either prove that the idea won’t work, 𝗼𝗿 make the transition from employee to full-time founder, CEO, and 80% shareholder of your own company.
- Support you—as co-founders, advisors and business partners—for the rest of your business journey.
