TQ Ventures

TQ Ventures is an early-stage venture firm made up of independent thinkers who invest from first principles and commit deeply to founders. Founded by Schuster Tanger and Andrew Marks, TQ deliberately designed itself as a counterpoint to the traditional VC playbook. The firm provides unmatched customer and strategic introductions through an extraordinary network, deep business partnership as companies scale, and hands-on help with go-to-market and brand. TQ does not default to what the industry says is hot — it studies fundamentals and makes independent calls, treating founders as partners, not bets.
