TQ Ventures
Early-stage venture capital firm founded in 2018, managing about $2 billion across four funds and investing industry-agnostically in more than 80 companies globally.
TQ Ventures is an early-stage venture capital firm founded in 2018 by Schuster Tanger and Andrew Marks. The firm invests from first principles in founders building category-defining businesses and takes an industry-agnostic approach, with a global portfolio of more than 80 companies. It manages approximately $2 billion in assets across four funds.
Performance has been strong relative to peers: each of the four funds has achieved top-decile or top-quartile returns. Capital is deployed through the TQ Ventures Funds, a family of four early-stage vehicles, with support to portfolio companies extending beyond financing to strategic and customer introductions, business and investing advice, and hands-on go-to-market and brand assistance.
The firm describes its approach as committing deeply to founders, treating them as partners rather than bets, and valuing independent thinking and long-term relationships. Engagement with portfolio companies is high; TQ also hosts founder dinners to build connections among entrepreneurs.
