From Our Founder

We're building DQM to be the resource for founders I wish I had when building my first business. 

About DQM

DQM Star
Our Mission

As a founder, advisor, and investor, I regularly experienced smaller businesses struggling to access critical advisory services, particularly when raising capital and undertaking M&A transactions.

Three previous businesses, three graduate degrees, two professional licenses, and one child later – plus over a decade in traditional advisory and investor roles – I set out to recreate the advisory firm, this time explicitly designing DQM to be an equalizer for privately owned businesses.
​​

If you share our frustration with the current advisory landscape and are intrigued by the notion that there may be a better way, we’d love to talk.

-Steve Simon, Founder of DQM
