Company mission
To maximise the chance of a startup being successful, by helping to minimise the risks associated with becoming an entrepreneur.
Our take
A common struggle for hopeful entrepreneurs is the need to “take the plunge”, giving all of themselves to a venture no matter the risk. DQventures is a company that supports entrepreneurs to foster ideas whilst retaining current jobs in the early stages of building their businesses.
The company puts a strong emphasis on the more experienced and older person to use its platform. They are the ones who are less likely to take the plunge on their own, and step away from current responsibilities when stability is needed to look after families and other life commitments.
Separating itself in the space, DQventures works to co-found alongside entrepreneurs. Currently working on an impressive growth plan, the company is looking to collaborate with 100 senior professionals in the next five years, so it’ll be interesting to see how entrepreneurs take to the idea of its offering.
