HQ Trivia Creators Rus Yusupov and Colin Kroll have sought to attract investors and venture capitalist firms to fund HQ with the intent of landing a post-money valuation as high as $100 million.[23] However, the pair's prior split from Twitter has caused issues; Kroll departed the social media site in 2014 after accusations of incompetence and alleged inappropriate behavior towards women, and Yusupov was laid off in 2015, giving potential investors reasons for pause.[16][23] Currently, HQ's fundraising prospects are ongoing and its parent company, Intermedia Labs, is still in talks with potential investors.[23]
