Tim Draper

I invest at the earliest stages in founders who look at a broken industry and decide they have to fix it. I stay with them through the long haul.

I am known for viral marketing, for early bets on Hotmail, Skype, Tesla, SpaceX, Twitch, and Coinbase, and for treating Bitcoin as infrastructure for economic freedom, not a trade. I also run a human accelerator at Draper University, where we train Startup Heroes to take risk, fail in public, and think bigger than the system they grew up in.

Ask me about how to pitch a seed-stage idea or how to teach entrepreneurship as a craft.
