Our Team
Neqst was founded in 2008 to address the fact that many technology investors lacked the hands-on experience necessary to add value. Our team brings a blend of educational backgrounds and professional experience, with a strong emphasis on operational and managerial expertise. Neqst has always invested a significant portion of its own capital alongside investors, ensuring full and long-term alignment between all stakeholders.
