Michael 'Q' Quatrini, CEO of Capital QVentures Inc. and its affiliate Capital QBusiness Development Company (CAPQ BDC), has published a new book titled 'BROKEN: How Full-Stack Venture Capital Funds Will Fix the Broken Venture Capital Industry.' The book takes a critical look at the venture capital industry and proposes the Full-Stack Venture Capital Funds model as a more flexible and sustainable approach to funding and scaling companies.

Why it matters

Quatrini's book and the Full-Stack Venture Capital Funds model he advocates for aim to address longstanding issues in the venture capital industry, such as misalignment between investors and founders, lack of income generation, and unsustainable returns. As an alternative investment manager, Quatrini has already put these ideas into practice with CAPQ BDC, which has outperformed the S&P 500 since its inception in 2019.

The details

In 'BROKEN,' Quatrini argues that the traditional venture capital model is 'broken' and proposes the Full-Stack Venture Capital Funds approach as a solution. These funds combine venture capital, private equity, and private credit to provide more flexible and sustainable funding for companies. Quatrini has already implemented this model with CAPQ BDC, which has generated returns exceeding 22% and increased investor dividends for 11 consecutive quarters.

• The book 'BROKEN' is currently available in hardcover, paperback, and e-reader formats.
• CAPQ BDC was founded in 2019.
