We invest in what makes us strong.

DRW Venture Capital is a stage-agnostic investor in financial and enterprise technology firms where our expertise adds as much value as our capital.

Whether you are an early-stage start-up or pre-IPO, our approach provides support from initial investment to subsequent funding rounds to a successful exit.

We deliver liquidity.

Unlock access to premium liquidity from one of the most established firms in the diversified trading space. With no outside investors, we have significant flexibility and look to invest in companies we believe in.

We offer insights and expertise.

Get valuable insider expertise from a firm that understands your business beyond its capital requirements. We provide access to relevant teams and subject matter expertise to test products, measure success and spot challenges.

We have a track record of success.

We only invest in arenas we know well—and often helped create. This targeted approach has served us well and we have helped a number of emerging companies significantly increase valuation or pursue a strategy of merger or acquisition.

We focus on finance and enterprise tech.

We invest in firms with capable and proven management teams and strong growth. In addition, we have the flexibility to continue to support our companies as they scale, through initial and follow-on financings.
