Crashed an episode of Roohi Kazi’s podcast! Covered my perspective on India's startup ecosystem and the stories behind my biggest investments. We got into what actually makes or breaks early-stage companies. Worth a listen if you're building something that everyone else thinks…
Marking a new chapter, as of today, September 2, 2025, we're rebranding to TON Strategy Co. and our ticker changes to $TONX from $VERB. Our mission remains the same — to build the premier $TON treasury by accumulating, staking, and holding $TON. Follow us for updates and…
Over the next few months, I’ll be dropping some stories from "Draper's Top 40 Hits”. This is a book that was dedicated to the entrepreneurs who set out to change the world. The disruptors, the trailblazers, the rebels, the heroes. Here's what you can expect: → Real stories…
We raised $10 million to bring autonomous laser defense to the battlefield. Get an exclusive look inside our $10M seed round from @axios. Thank you to @demarest_colin for telling our story. Stay tuned for our video release.
Laser defense: highly investable, cutting-edge tech. Drones changed warfare forever, and lasers are the great equalizer. Amazing work being done by @aureliuslasers & a great scoop on this funding here by @demarest_colin @axios.

The institutional FOMO is real. We're watching banks and boardrooms across America scramble to figure out Bitcoin custody. Companies that laughed at the idea 2 years ago are now asking "how fast can we get this on our balance sheet?" Here's what I told Vince Quill on the…
Being in a crowded market doesn’t mean that you're destined to fail. But it does mean you’ll face more skepticism and thorough questioning from investors. The ones who have the answers AND the passion to keep going… They’ll disrupt entire industries.
I joined @MissTaylorShead on her new podcast and revealed why I invested in @StemuliStudios. I met Taylor right after I finished reading Ready Player One. Every company that @drapervc has ever backed could read like a sci-fi book. When I see a story stepping off the pages into…
The $9 million cab ride that became worth $20 billion. Picture this: I was in a taxi in Beijing, negotiating to invest in the first search engine for China, but the valuation seemed too high, and the entrepreneur was confidently immovable. That's exactly where I was in 2000…
Academia is having a breakdown. Most VCs are missing it. Universities are "fat and lazy" and research is geared toward citations, not value. Scientists are getting blocked from talking about their own work and as we say… “Innovation dies in stealth mode.” In academia: Seek…
Most intern programs teach you how to be an EA. Ours teaches you how to spot unicorns. Ours teaches you how to add deep value from day one. Our summer interns just presented their capstone projects and finished out a summer: 📞 Handling 200+ founder calls ✍️ Writing 70+…
My brutally honest take on Elon Musk's new political party… I believe Elon Musk is a gift to humanity from the gods. His visions are all encompassing and his methods are effective. As for his political party, I hope he is successful in shrinking the size and the regulations…
If you think AI will take your job, you are right. If you don’t use AI to do your job, you will lose your job. Use it or lose it. AI is such a productivity improvement, that if you use it, you will probably get a new or better job, or your job will just improve. I've been using…
All founders are heroes to us at Draper. Yesterday we hosted our first NYC Founder Coworking Day at the new office - of course, @TimDraper came, even on vacation, to spend 1:1 time with every founder in the room. These sessions are built to go deep: open working blocks, real…
If you're solving massive problems for humanity and making people feel uncomfortable along the way… We should probably talk. I want to fund the wild, weird, and unconventional. As my son puts it, “We want to fund the rebellion.” Today, it looks like investing in: 🤖 AI,…
The greatest entrepreneurs do everything with gusto and enthusiasm. DISRUPT, LET’S GO!
Insurance is broken. But you already knew that. @opolis is finally bringing health insurance on-chain. Cut the intermediaries and quit wondering “where did my premium go?” Lower costs, better coverage, and a system that actually works for freelancers, DAOs, and anyone tired…
Looking to invest in rational founders building irrational ideas @drapervc Who should we be funding?
I was asked what would be a “Heck, Yes!” and what would be a “Heck, No!” when faced with a new entrepreneur. Here was my answer: Heck yes if a founder’s background is aligned with their venture. Heck no if they're not. Heck yes if a founder is willing to go out on a limb and…
