We were among the first to believe in Bitcoin at Draper Associates and we’ve continued betting on the next generation of groundbreaking ideas since. Yes, we’re still big on crypto but we’re industry-agnostic by design. If it’s unconventional and world-shifting — we’re in. What…
I loved Brian Armstrong from the moment he walked into my office, but I had already invested in @CoinLab, so I didn’t invest at first. But my son, Adam did. I decided @Coinbase would have too long a road to success, so I passed. Ouch. I thought retail crypto was too far away,…
Tom Williams came to us with no business plan. He was the first one to only provide a PowerPoint deck. @Cisco ended up buying his company for over $100M. Tom just had a simple slide deck about what he'd do with his ISDN routers. And it became our best performing company in…
Fresh off our big win with Twitch being bought by Amazon for $1 billion, co-founder, @KVogt came to me with another idea. "I have been working on a self-driving car, and I have incorporated the technology into my @Audi." I asked if he could give me a spin. He took me for a…
Thanks to @CoinMarketCap for the interview. We covered @Bitcoin, AI, and why I still believe we're headed to $250K BTC, AND BEYOND. The Bitcoin thesis hasn't changed. Bitcoin is the ultimate hedge against bad governance, inflation, government spending and the like, and none of…
Why is @DraperVC doubling down on investing in bio? Why now? The world is finally transitioning from chemotherapy to bio-cures. Entrepreneurs and scientists today are working to completely cure and eliminate disease, rather than giving patients chronic treatments and just…
We are proud to announce that Rise has just surpassed $1 Billion in Total Payroll Volume $1,000,000,000 in total payroll processed across 190+ countries. After several years since launch, earlier this year we celebrated $500M. Now just nine months later, we’ve doubled this…
From an idea born in Argentina to a quantum acquisition 🚀 We backed @SkyloomG when building the space internet sounded like science fiction. Now it’s part of @IonQ_Inc, proof that deep tech founders from LATAM can shape civilization’s future.
Just wrapped an incredible conversation with @albizhulali (one of my @Draper_U grads who's been heroic for 9 years since graduating). We dove deep into what I look for when backing founders: → Energy → Mission → Passionate first-timers → Entirely new frameworks We…

Tim Draper - How to get funded by top VCs | Founders Room #005
Michigan just became home to @DGBventures's second office. @bleznak has been crushing it with our PropTech portfolio companies. Troy-headquartered @LitFinancial_ (mortgage brokerage) and Birmingham-based AIVRE (AI-powered appraisal software) are both performing exceptionally…
Another portfolio company delivering massive ROI. Otter.ai ( @otter_ai ) just unveiled its enterprise suite, and the numbers are staggering. For the average Otter enterprise customer, the platform saves the equivalent of 1 full-time employee for every 20 users.…
The DraperTV show on @Pumpfun keeps growing with an incredible community and founders building the future. I’ll be joining the stream to meet the people driving this movement. Anyone watching and engaging will have a chance to pitch their ideas to me, just like on Meet The…
I invested in @Skype after one meeting with @nzennstrom. First Estonian founder I ever met. And… One of @DraperVC's first unicorns. Thanks Niklas.
April Wachtel pitched Cheeky Cocktails ( @cheekycocktails ) to our panel with TV cameras circling her on a Manhattan rooftop. Her take? "Unlike the buttoned-up feel of many VC pitch rooms, this one had candid, funny, even goofy moments that made it feel human and unexpectedly…
A Draper Portfolio company went from IDEA to unicorn (x9) in 5 YEARS. 🦄 🦄 🦄 🦄 🦄 🦄 🦄 🦄 🦄 @Polymarket just hit $9 BILLION valuation with a $2 billion investment from ICE (the owner of the NYSE.) A 21-year-old college dropout with nothing to lose enlisted our help to…
Grateful to @thebenbergman and @BusinessInsider for the feature this week. Let me cut through the headline about @OpenAI being the "AOL of AI." Here's what I actually meant: OpenAI is fantastic. I should've invested early (weird structure scared me off… lesson learned). But…
Could have used this 12 years ago when we invested in 100 Bitcoin companies who couldn’t get bank accounts.

I've backed some incredible founders over the years. But watching my son @AdamDraper raise $87,654,321 for Boost VC's fourth fund? That hits different. VC is our family trade. It's what we do. And Adam? He's not riding coattails. He dropped out of UCLA. Built his own thing.…
Proud father to @AdamDraper, the VC Scion! Already on his fourth fund. Amazing returns @BoostVC. Congratulations to the whole team. fortune.com/2025/09/29/ada…
