| With offices in Sacramento and Santa Barbara, DFJ Frontier invests in seed and early stage technology companies in California. We are an affiliate of Draper Fisher Jurvetson, a premier Silicon Valley venture capital fund known for visionary early stage investing.
DFJ Frontier backs passionate entrepreneurs and provides business assistance, not just capital. We typically lead the first round of investment, taking a significant stake in the company and an active role on the Board of Directors. We continue to invest in subsequent rounds and help arrange financing from other institutional investors, supporting our companies as they move towards self-sufficiency and liquidity.
At DFJ Frontier, we believe entrepreneurs are extraordinary. Our team consists of investors who have also founded and grown companies, so we know how to help because we´ve done it ourselves. Our philosophy is to provide support to help you turn your idea or technology into a self-sustaining business with real value. We expect the managers of our portfolio companies to own significant equity stakes.
DFJ Frontier typically invests $100,000 to $500,000 initially, with additional capital reserved for follow-on investment as the company successfully achieves key milestones. We will also structure syndicates for companies that require a larger initial capital infusion.
We invest in start-ups with the opportunity to change the world. We seek out entrepreneurs who have the energy, discipline, and courage to create something from nothing and the desire to work with investment partners who ha
ve the experience to help them get there. We are particularly interested in emerging technologies and will consider any market driven technology opportunity including software, information services, biotechnology, nanotechnology, and alternative energy. We like capable people attacking big markets with a viable strategy for establishing sustainable leadership.
