Fintech’s productive investor and co -founder of QED Investors Frank Rotman said on Friday that it would go to a partner’s role until the end of the year to focus on establishing his own newly established businesses.
But these newly established businesses will not be necessary for financial technology companies. In a post on xRotman – who helped start QED in 2007 – said that “the first business” to get out of the ground is in the music industry. “
He wrote: “It’s easy to call me crazy for all the obvious reasons, but it’s worth maintaining the crisis until you find out more about the business that evolved on my head and sat on the shelf for years.
Rotman launched Alexandria, the Virginia -based QED, which today is managed by $ 4 billion in assets, about two decades ago with Nigel Morris and Caribou Honig. He led the company’s investment in Credit Karma and played a role in QED’s investment in unicorns such as Greensky, Flywire and Sofi. (In fact, QED was the first institutional money in Credit Karma.) Other companies supported by the company include Creditas, Nubank, Avidxchange and Bitso.
QED invests exclusively in companies that manufacture economic technology with stages in Series A.
Rotman, who goes from the handle “The Fintech Junkie” on X, said he would go to his new role on January 1, 2026. He will continue to serve a part -time counseling role in QED in the coming years.
In addition to the founding companies, Rotman said he was probably planning to write a book focusing on “Observations and Frames on Basin Worlds and VC”.
He wrote in the x post: “This should not surprise anyone who knows me – writing is my oxygen. I can’t imagine a life without it, even if Chatgpt and Claude are better writers than me.”
In a statement, QED Managing Director Nigel Morris noted that he and Rotman have worked for over 30 years – previously also on Capital One.
“Frank, at his core, is a businessman and I have no doubt that he will excel in his next chapter,” he said.
The Amias Gerety QED partner will be promoted to the US US Investment Team.
