Quorum is where Limited Partners are not so limited.
We select early stage startups and improve their probability of success by activating a community of experts who are personally invested.
Our Specialist Limited Partners don't just provide capital — they help select companies, and help them win. Better than full-time VCs could alone.
For the full context on our inspiration, you can read our thesis here.
Our process
1
Source
We seek resilient, self-aware, and honest founders who are ready to field inquiries from a quorum of experts. If that's you, we encourage you to reach us through a warm intro.
2
GP-Led Screening
General Partners (GPs) start by considering whether we can assemble a quorum of SLPs with expertise in the startup's domain. If not – Quorum passes quickly.
3
SLP-Driven Diligence
GPs initially evaluate, flagging risks and knowledge gaps. The lead GP then assembles a quorum of SLPs to review the deal in depth and dive into the identified gaps.
4
Decision by Quorum
SLPs and GPs collectively vote on whether to invest.
5
Ongoing Support
Portfolio founders become an extension of our community — supported with tailored introductions and guidance from our brain trust at every stage.
6
Follow On
After seeing successful performance from the inside, we like to expand our position over time, often investing as much as 10X our initial investment in the subsequent rounds.
About us
Our story
In 2021, we teamed up to form an angel syndicate. Starting during a period of market highs, we developed a process that allowed us to stay discerning amidst the froth.
We've now institutionalized our culture of enlisting experts to select startups with the level of conviction that typically only specialist VCs achieve. Meanwhile we share the benefits of generalist VCs: a nimble readiness to fund new categories, a wider funnel of deal flow, and a diverse portfolio that's resilient against sector-specific risks.
This edge is only possible because of our extraordinary brain trust of investors. Our investors eagerly leverage their deep expertise across domains – and share our dream for Quorum to outlast and outperform each of us as individuals.
