History
[edit | edit source]DFJ was founded in 1985 by Tim Draper. John Fisher became a partner in 1991 and Steve Jurvetson joined in 1994.[1][2][3] In 2013, Draper announced his departure from DFJ.[4] Draper announced he will continue investing out of an early stage venture fund Draper Associates V and assisting his son in running an incubator.[citation needed]
The DFJ Network was renamed the Draper Venture Network in 2015 and was operated by Draper.[5]
In November 2017, Jurvetson stepped down from his position at DFJ after allegations of sexual harassment.[6]
In January 2019, DFJ Venture, the early-stage team, spun out and formed Threshold Ventures.[7]
DFJ Growth’s fourth fund of nearly $1 billion closed in 2021.[8]
In May 2025, DFJ Growth raised $1.2 billion for its fifth fund.[9]
DFJ Growth's investments have included Anaplan,[10] Coinbase,[9][11][12] Cylance,[13] Ring,[9][14] Sisense,[15][16] SpaceX,[17][18] Tesla,[19] Twitter,[9][19] Unity,[20] and Yammer.[17][21]
