# Tquila Business Description
Tquila is a London-based technology venture-building firm specialising in scaling technology services businesses. The company partners with three distinct client types: established consulting firms seeking to expand their technology practice, software vendors wanting to grow their practitioner networks, and early-stage technology companies aiming for rapid expansion.
What distinguishes Tquila is their proprietary Build-Operate-Transfer model. Rather than pursuing traditional mergers and acquisitions or relying solely on organic growth, this approach enables global firms to develop specific technology capabilities at significantly lower cost and risk whilst maintaining the speed that organic expansion typically lacks. The model essentially provides M&A-like benefits without the associated complexities and expenses.
For early-stage founders, Tquila goes beyond capital provision. They deliver comprehensive support including executive coaching, board participation, operational management, and hands-on business services. Portfolio companies benefit from collaborative go-to-market initiatives designed to accelerate growth collectively.
The firm's leadership comprises seven experienced partners and senior professionals—James McHugh (Founder), Mark Hutchinson, Mick McCannon, Rob Fiddaman, Jon Stypula and others—each bringing substantial expertise in building and scaling technology ventures. Carsten Jorgensen serves as Chair and SEO Asset Manager.
Tquila positions itself at the intersection of finance and operations, addressing the genuine gap where growing companies need more than investment capital—they require strategic guidance, operational expertise, and industry connections to achieve meaningful scale.
