Hi, I'm Arjun, co-founder of DQ Ventures. I help founders build businesses that make money and can scale. Before DQ, I spent 10 years as the investment director of an Asia-focused seed fund and venture builder. I helped build a portfolio worth over $30 million and took 2 companies through the successful exits. Before that, I built and ran manufacturing businesses from the ground up. That's where I learned how to operate a lean business. One thing I've seen and is important is that good ideas aren't enough. Businesses last when they're operated with discipline. With you, I'll build a business model that makes money, then put in the systems and processes so the business can grow beyond you. I'm trained as a project manager and financial analyst. I studied finance in Boston and economics in Melbourne. I've worked through the UK, US, Singapore, India, and Australia. Today I live between Singapore, India, and the UK. For me, family and community come first. That's how I was raised. I believe you earn your place by doing right by the people around you. So here's what you can expect when you work with me. I'll tell you what I think of your business and show you my reasoning. I'll say where I see opportunities and where you need to change. And I'll help you separate the risks that matter from the ones that don't, so you can make better decisions. So together, let's build a business that you can be proud of.
