Focus statement
DSQ focuses on building long-term, two-way partnerships: deploying its knowledge, expertise and network to accelerate portfolio company growth or manage change, while producing significant returns and trusted leadership for investor members.
Value Add
- Explicitly describes investing as a "lasting bi-directional relationship" (emphasis on two-way commitment between firm, companies, and investors).
- Prioritizes active, value‑add support: leveraging "knowledge, expertise and network" rather than passive capital alone.
- Emphasizes resilience support: helping companies "navigate inevitable change," not just scale during good times.
- Dual-stakeholder orientation: equally explicit about outcomes for portfolio companies and for "investor members" (returns + leadership).
