But those startups will not necessarily be financial technology companies. in Posted on XRotman – who helped start QED in 2007 – announced that the “first work” that he plans “when leaving the ground is in the music industry.”

He wrote: “It is easy to invite me crazy for all the clear reasons, but it is worth maintaining the ruling until you learn more about the work that developed in my head and sat on the shelf for years. It will be constructive and you can make a big difference in an industry that none of us can imagine without it.”

The Virginia -based Rutman, QED, which has $ 4 billion of assets under management, began nearly two decades ago with Nigel Morris and Caribo Honij. He led the company’s investment in vine credit and played a role in QED investments in the only ones such as Greensky, Flywire and Sofi. (Actually, QED was the first institutional funds in vine credit). Other companies supported by the company Creditas, Nubank, Avidxchang and Bitso include.

QED is investing exclusively in companies that build financial technology in the stages of the series A.

Besides the startups of the institution, Rutman said it is likely to plan to write a book focused on “his observations and frameworks to start operating and VC Worlds”.

He wrote in The X Post: “This should not be surprised by anyone who knows me – writing is my oxygen. I can’t imagine a life without it even though Chatgpt and Claude are better writers than me.”

In a statement, an administrative partner at Qed Nigel Morris indicated that he had worked together for more than 30 years – also in Capital One.

“Frank, in essence, is a businessman and I have no doubt that he will excel in his next chapter,” he said.
