DVC is a VC fund backed by 95+ investors, including many active unicorn founders, GPs of VC firms, and angel investors. Most of us have a tech background, some of us also bring finance, artistic or content creator experience. Active and most value-added investors in our community become Deal Advisors, Deal Captains, or Venture Partners in the fund and share the carried interest.
We focus on the areas where we have the best expertise and can provide maximum value, such as AI/ML/Robotics, and back repeat and experienced founders. We invest small checks into pre-seed and seed startups alongside top-tier VC firms such as Sequoia, Kleiner Perkins, a16z, Coatue, and Thiel Capital and then double (and triple) down with bigger follow-on amounts on consequent rounds. Our approach is tailored to invest in highly-competitive deals with startups founded by repeat founders, that are statistically more likely to become unicorn companies.
