To all our QDS Family and Friends —
We are hoping that this note finds everyone happy and healthy, and able to get away from the stresses of work to enjoy some time with family and close friends.
We are just five weeks past the public launch of QDS Capital (which obviously was the product of months of work and preparation) with our friends at 323, CakeBloom, Champion Brewery, Verite Winery, Pangloss Cellars and Repris Wines and have been diligently working on QDS Venture Fund I. Response has far surpassed anything that we could have hoped for or anticipated. With that in mind, Nikki and I just want to take this opportunity to say thank you — to our Operational Partners, to our investors, to the amazing entrepreneurs and founders with whom we will be working in the coming months, years and decades. We are deeply appreciative for the opportunity to impact tech innovation at the earliest stages and to support the growth of people and companies at a time when it’s being recognized more than ever as an important building block of our future economy.
Nothing to date would have been possible without this amazing expanded team of exceptional individuals — so thank you to everyone who has become part of our extended QDS family, and we can’t wait to continue this journey together. We are beyond grateful, and are deeply appreciative for the opportunity to impact tech innovation at the earliest stages in a variety of geographies, and to support the growth of people and companies at a time when early stage venture investments are being recognized more than ever as an important building block of our future economy.
In Gratitude,
The QDS Team
