Through Draper Associates, DFJ, and the larger Draper venture ecosystem I’ve been lucky enough to meet and fund the founders behind giants like Tesla, Robinhood, Twitch, Baidu, and SpaceX. I backed SpaceX when private space travel was unheard of. Now they’re making humanity interplanetary. I backed Colossal when they thought de-extincting animals was sci-fi. Now we have 3 dire wolf puppies.
I look for visionary founders building the future before it’s obvious.
Through Draper University’s hero training, we’ve unleashed 6,000+ innovators from 103 countries, sparking 1500+ companies and 7 unicorns.
Through Meet The Drapers TV show, we’ve broadcasted seven seasons of entrepreneurial innovators to tens of millions of people from around the world, and we already launched at least one unicorn.
I invest in founders who reshape how we live, work, and dream with new tech, new systems, and new horizons.
Got a vision that will change the world? I’m listening.
