In 1985 I rode down Sand Hill Road on an elephant to open DFJ's first office. 40 years later, no elephant, but we just opened our first New York Draper office.
Since 1985, we have:
- Invested in 2,000+ founders globally
- Created 400,000+ jobs, with approximately 4,000,000 jobs indirectly
- Created $3T+ in global economic value
- Created 10,000+ millionaires
- Created 20+ billionaires
- Created one richest man in the world: Elon Musk
And now, with our new Draper hub in New York City, we have so much more to come...
We just won our Senate race! As a son of immigrants, a public school kid, I never couldโve imagined Iโd get to serve as a US Senator. Iโm deeply humbled and grateful to NJ and for everyone who got us here. I promise Iโll serve with honor and integrity as a public servant for all.
So excited to be joining @HalogenVC while at my first year at @Columbia_Biz ! Endless gratitude for the incredible team who continue to focus on diversifying and opening doors for underrepresented founders an investors. ๐ค

Had a great morning at an International Womenโs Day event with @TeamSupermomos and the Kingdom of the Netherlands talking about all things being a female founder/VC ๐ค
As of today, @JetBlue has its first female CEO - in addition to the fearless leadership of our current President of @JetBlueVentures and our majority female firm!
While we still have far to go, I am so proud of JetBlue's long-term DEI commitments๐ช๐ผ๐
