About Us
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 $1,000,000 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.
Our Approach
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 have 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.
How We Help Build Your Company
We provide much more than just capital. As an active Board Member
of your company, the professionals at DFJ Frontier will help you
refine your business plan, recruit and interview key employees,
identify and contact potential partners and customers, secure additional
funding as the company grows, and successfully manage exit alternatives.
We don't expect that your company will be fully formed when we make
our investment. We're here to help.
