Careers at DQventures
DQ is your zero-to-one cofounder for the first 12 months of your own business.
You stay in your job while we help build, by validating demand, launching the first version of your service or product, and winning your first paying customers.
You give the equivalent of one day a week, and within 12 months you're the CEO of your own business. After that, DQ shifts from zero-to-one cofounder to long-term business partner, supporting you throughout your journey until you're ready to sell.
We're a team of successful builders and investors in 100+ companies. We've felt the best and worst of entrepreneurship, and now we're committed to helping as many good people as possible to enjoy the former and avoid the latter.
Our values are alway to do what’s in your (i.e. the founder’s) best interest, tell it like it is, always over-deliver, and build real businesses rather than chasing unicorns.
Escape's take on DQventures
DQventures is shaking up the traditional path to entrepreneurship by acting as your cofounder for a year. They support mid-career professionals to kick-start their own businesses while keeping their current roles. Imagine getting to test, launch, and scale your idea without the immediate financial risk of leaving your job. What’s genuinely exciting is their hands-on approach — this isn't just advice over emails; it's putting their skin in the game with you. They bring an arsenal of seasoned founders, investors, and product whizzes to help bring your idea to life. It's a brilliant opportunity for any budding entrepreneurs tired of corporate confines but nervous about going it alone.
