From research lab to product

QFT is a spin-off of the Technical University of Munich (TUM) . The founding team comes from the Center for Entrepreneurial and Financial Studies (CEFS) , where they built one of the world's largest academic research programs for private markets analytics.

The co-founders bring 20+ years of R&D experience from this group. The methods, the intuition, and the expertise were developed there. The academic home is altqnt.com , which continues to publish in top finance journals. QFT's commercial datasets are independently built and entirely separate from any academic data.

This is not a startup that discovered private equity recently. It is the commercialization of focused, long-term research into how private markets actually work.

What we believe

LPs deserve independent analytics. Most tools in private markets are built for GPs, placement agents, or data vendors. QFT is built for the LP side: the people who commit capital and need to understand what they are buying.

Science beats intuition at scale. A seasoned investor's judgment is valuable. But judgment alone cannot process 20,000 comparable transactions, run 10,000 bootstrap simulations, or stress-test a portfolio against macro scenarios. The two are complements, not substitutes.

Transparency is non-negotiable. Every number on our platform is traceable to a methodology, a dataset, and a set of assumptions. If you cannot audit it, you should not trust it.

The team

The QFT co-founders bring 20+ years of academic research from one of the world's largest private markets research groups. Every co-founder holds a PhD. Four in quantitative PE research.
