DFJ Growth

DFJ Growth is a growth-stage venture capital firm founded in 2005 and based in Silicon Valley. It invests in technology companies that have moved beyond early-stage venture funding and are choosing to stay private longer in order to scale further and more efficiently - occupying the space between early-stage venture capital and the public markets. The firm works with founders globally.

Two propositions define the firm's approach. The first is growth capital itself: funding for promising technology companies seeking to scale. The second is company-building partnership - engagement that combines experience, counsel and access to the firm's network while leaving operating decisions with founders, a style the firm describes as engaged rather than micromanaging. Investment activity is concentrated in artificial intelligence, aerospace, defense, biotechnology and software.

The team is drawn from entrepreneurs, operators, technologists and investors, and the firm positions itself around backing visionary, ambitious founders of companies with game-changing technologies. DFJ Growth can be reached through its website at https://dfjgrowth.com/.
