DFJ Esprit focuses on four key sectors: technology, media, telecoms and medtech.

We like to back great teams with the vision and energy to effectively challenge the status quo and entrepreneurs that want to change the world.

We look for companies that operate in high growth areas and focus on large market opportunities.

We are prepared to support great entrepreneurs at any stage in the lifecycle of their businesses. We can invest as little as $0.5m or as much as $25 million over the life of an investment.

We have an unparalleled track record backing spinouts from large corporates and universities. We have invested primary capital to support great entrepreneurs in establishing their businesses. We have also provided some liquidity to founder teams and angel investors to support strategic shifts or latter phases of growth.  We welcome opportunities in each of these areas.

Most of all we enjoy talking to passionate people with great ideas. If you are interested to learn more about how we work or have a business that you would like us to consider backing, please do not hesitate to get in touch. We will get back to you.
