The Quantum Story: All In On Entrepreneurship in Energy
Entrepreneurship has been in Quantum’s DNA from the very beginning. Wil VanLoh founded the firm in 1998 at the age of 28 upon recognizing an untapped business opportunity to provide private equity capital to entrepreneurs in the upstream oil & gas sector.
Over time, our strategy has expanded as we recognized Quantum could help companies across the energy value chain. Today, we pursue a disciplined yet creative approach to investing across the global energy ecosystem. While much has changed since Quantum’s founding, we continue to believe our biggest competitive advantage is the ability to attract and provide differentiated support to entrepreneurs we partner with to build great companies.
