QED Investors

QED Investors is a fintech-focused venture capital firm founded in 2007 and headquartered in Alexandria, Virginia, with additional presence across the U.S., the U.K. and Europe, Latin America, India, Southeast Asia, and Africa.

The firm invests in disruptive financial services and technology companies that are reshaping the future of finance, backing both early-stage startups and later-stage growth rounds with a hands-on, operator-led approach that leverages decades of entrepreneurial and operational experience to drive scalable, sustainable growth.

QED manages more than $4 billion in assets across over 30 funds, including dedicated early-stage and growth vehicles such as QED Fund VIII and QED Growth Fund II, and has raised successive flagship funds and growth funds totaling over $1.9 billion since 2021 to double down on global fintech opportunities.

Since inception, the firm has invested in more than 200 companies worldwide, including over two dozen unicorns such as Nubank, Klarna, Kavak, Credit Karma, Remitly, SoFi, AvidXchange, Konfio, Bitso, Loft, QuintoAndar, ClearScore, and Wayflyer, spanning verticals such as digital banking, lending, payments, insurtech, wealth management, and proptech.

QED typically leads or co-leads Seed through growth-stage rounds with initial check sizes ranging from approximately $5 million to $40 million, focusing on strong unit economics, clear product–market fit, and robust paths to profitability while actively supporting portfolio companies with strategic guidance, operational expertise, and access to a global fintech network.

With a global team of investors and operators led by co-founder and managing partner Nigel Morris and founding partner Frank Rotman, QED has built a track record as one of the most influential specialist fintech funds worldwide, recognized for its thesis-driven approach and for helping build some of the category-defining financial technology platforms of the last two decades
