Why Mobile

Social networks and mobile app stores have created an open and democratic environment, allowing millions of consumers to vote on apps, sites and services immediately with their fingers and wallets.

Teams that are able to deliver transformational experiences in this era of the "Touch Internet" will be the winners. We're helping the best of them become the biggest brands of tomorrow.

Tap into our network

Tandem's investors are mostly successful tech entrepreneurs and executives, and they love helping others build their businesses. Join the Tandem team and tap into this wealth of experience and knowledge.

What we’re not

Tandem is not a VC firm or a group of angels that offers only investment funds. Nor are we simply advisors that lob in ideas or suggestions from afar.

it's all about the team

Great entrepreneurs will make their businesses successful one way or the other. We look for great teams more than great ideas - and we provide them with experience, resources and support.

WE GET OUR HANDS DIRTY

Mentoring and advising from a distance isn't always that helpful. We roll up our sleeves and get involved in your business - without looking for control. Our teams work out of our offices for the first six months, and we collaborate with each other on a daily basis during this time.

WE MOVE QUICKLY

We work with the teams we back to map out a path to market leadership, launch new products quickly, listen to and learn from users, and iterate as needed to reach our destination.
