Corporate Escapology
25. Meet James Green: Venture-builder helping would-be Corporate Escapologists - Corporate Escapology the Podcast
Series 2/Episode 25: The Corporate Escapology podcast is here to show you pathways that others have trodden to leave their corporate job and do something more fulfilling, purposeful and rewarding.
But this one is a bit different, because James Green isn't a Corporate Escapologist. He's an entrepreneur turned investor turned venture builder.
And his firm DQ Ventures specialises in helping corporate people build their dream businesses - without exiting the safety of their jobs. At least not to begin with, not until the risk has decreased. The tagline is: Start a company before quitting your job.
DQ Ventures acts like a co-founder to someone with an idea who doesn't have the time to commit everything to turn it into a business - and has too much to lose. They bring business-building experience: customer discovery, tech, go-to-market, investment - and in exchange for a fee and some equity, they help road-test the business until you're ready for the Great Escape.
