Rotman has played a significant role in QED's success, leading investments in notable companies such as Credit Karma, GreenSky, Flywire, and SoFi.

Following Rotman's departure, Amias Gerety will be promoted to lead QED Investors' U.S. investment team and will join the Executive Committee.

This decision marks a significant transition in Rotman's career, emphasizing his desire to pursue entrepreneurship over his current partnership responsibilities.

His first planned venture will be in the music industry, marking a departure from his established fintech background.

Since co-founding QED Investors in 2007 with Nigel Morris and Caribou Honig, Rotman has been recognized on Forbes' Midas List of top investors every year since 2018.

Nigel Morris expressed mixed emotions about Rotman's departure, reflecting on their long partnership of over 30 years and his confidence in Rotman's future entrepreneurial success.

Frank Rotman, co-founder of QED Investors, will step down to become a partner emeritus by the end of 2025, shifting his focus towards launching his own startups.

In addition to his entrepreneurial pursuits, Rotman plans to write a book sharing his insights on startups and venture capital.

QED Investors, based in Alexandria, Virginia, is a leading venture capital firm focused on disruptive financial services and currently manages $4 billion in assets.

Despite the changes, Morris emphasized that QED has a strong team capable of thriving and ensuring continuity in their operations.

Rotman will officially transition to his new role on January 1, 2026, while continuing to provide part-time advisory support to QED.

Bill Cilluffo will resume oversight of QED's early-stage investments, while Mike Packer will also join the Executive Committee as an observer on the Investment Committee.
