Fifty-five companies. One direction.
From San Francisco to Detroit to Bangalore: the portfolio lives where the assets are, not where the conferences are. Drag the globe, tap a dot.
Selected investments across current and prior vehicles; not an exhaustive list. Partner Portfolio marks investments made personally by the partners before or outside the firm's vehicles. DGH vehicles were raised and managed by Draper Goren Holm, a predecessor firm that remains legally separate from DGB and includes a partner who is not part of DGB.
Early positions, now market leaders.
We have been building and backing the companies driving digitization since before most of these categories had names.

* Studio-founded, then fund-backed: the model doubles down on its own winners. Prior-era companies reflect the Draper Goren Holm vehicles and may not represent current holdings.
Access is not a perk of our model. It is the product of it.
