Quest Venture Partners is founded and led by three managing partners who are brothers Andrew and Marcus Ogawa plus technologist Maarten 't Hooft, combining a Japanese-American family entrepreneurial background with deep operator experience from Daimler and Google's Android hardware launch team. The firm explicitly positions itself as the bridge for non-Silicon Valley founders (including many from Asia) who make the leap to the Bay Area, emphasizing that once you are in Silicon Valley "don't just stay in the comfort of your own national community."
