Thesis

Invest from first principles and commit deeply to founders. TQ rejects thematic investing and backs exceptional founding teams with unique, compelling market visions — category creators rather than incremental improvers. They target companies that have raised less than $1.5M, positioning them as one of the first institutional checks.

Likely not a fit for

No thematic mandate-chasing, no late-stage growth rounds (outside follow-ons), no lead investor role
