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 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

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. https://t.co/oJH20xiWnE

A willingness to try new things is the most important trait for any venture capitalist. Too many try to eliminate all risk before they invest. I do the opposite. There are always big risks. But I try to allow myself to experiment and invest in areas where other people fail to

AI will take everyone’s jobs. … until they invent new ones. AI alone probably won’t take your job. But someone using AI might. So you should lean in to AI. People react to new technologies in three ways: 1. The Resisters: "AI is ruining everything!" 2. The Ignorers: “I

Scientists have historically operated in silos. @Benchling changed that. When founder @sajithw walked into my office, he caught my attention. He didn't pitch me on some amazing future. He just laid out how he was going to make it easier for scientists to store, share, and work

Ben Lamm came to us saying he was going to bring back the woolly mammoth. He immediately had my attention. Ben had already recruited renowned geneticist George Church as co-founder, and they were working on bringing back extraordinary animals from the past, but the technology
