TQ Ventures LLC is a venture capital firm led by Schuster Tanger and Andrew Marks based in New York City.


The firm seeks out extraordinary founders across the software complex in businesses with durable competitive advantages. We’re involved in primarily business-to-business (B2B) models, but also some business-to-consumer (B2C) models.


Across our more than 80 global investments, we believe the differentiated support and networks we provide our founders have fueled our track record and our reputation.

Founded in 2018, TQ now has around $1 billion under management and is currently investing out of our third $500m fund.


The TQ Ventures investment philosophy:


The overarching ethos of TQ Ventures is: Backing founders building the future.

we judge all startups by the same simple rubric:


· Do the founders demonstrate exceptional talent and vision?

· Are they solving a problem or delivering an experience that provides substantial value to customers?

· Are there enough customers to constitute a large market?

· Is there a compelling go-to-market motion to effectively reach those customers?

· If successful, will the company have high margins, low capital intensity, scalability with minimal friction and low incremental costs and, crucially, durable competitive advantages?

· Are we investing at a valuation that, if the business succeeds, will deliver returns exceeding our fund’s committed capital net of dilution?


Bottom-up Approach versus Thematic or Vertical-Focused


Our investment firm looks for opportunities across a wide range of industries and sectors, with a bottom-up business-model-driven approach. Current investments cover industries including:


· Infrastructure

· Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning

· Enterprise

· Development Tools

· Software as a Service (SaaS)

· Consumer Tech

· Fintech and Blockchain

· Healthcare

· Geography
