Co-Host
Established in March of 2006, DFJ DragonFund was the joint venture between the internationally recognized venture capital firm Draper Fisher Jurvetson (DFJ) and DragonVenture, which helped pioneer venture capital in China in the late 90’s. Since its inception, DFJ DragonFund managed two US Dollar funds “DFJ DragonFund I & DFJ DragonFund II” and one RMB fund. In 2014, the DFJ Global Network rebranded as the Draper Venture Network. With the launch of our 3rd US Dollar fund in 2016, DFJ DragonFund henceforward became known as Draper Dragon Fund. It is a sector agnostic early stage fund looking for companies with innovative technologies and business models with market appeal in Silicon Valley and in China. With the unique depth of experience and knowledge, the team can add value and resources in a broad manner.
