Deep Fork Capital (DFC) is an early-stage venture capital firm focused on investing globally in entrepreneurs who are creating disruptive technology-driven innovations in the Consumerized Internet. We collaborate and partner with inspired, creative entrepreneurs who are driven by a passion to make a meaningful impact, with a focus on software-driven sectors including adtech, digital media, enterprise, gaming, social, e-commerce, big data and cloud computing deployed across multiple platforms including web and mobile. We prefer investing in entrepreneurs who are intensely data-driven and who are building platform- and marketplace-driven businesses that can benefit from powerful dual-sided network effects.
DFC's heritage is unique in that its own investors are seasoned entrepreneurs themselves, who know what it takes to build companies from the ground up - including some who have founded and built companies that rank among the world's most successful and innovative businesses globally, across sectors as diverse as energy and retail. Thus, our fund is composed of deeply experienced entrepreneurs, backing the world's next great generation of entrepreneurs, which allows us to consider ideas and people first.
We work as true partners with the entrepreneurs whom we back, leveraging our broad global network among industry players small and large, as well as later-stage investors whose capital can help amplify our portfolio companies' success in their later stages.
