We invest at inception and partner with founders who turn product or presence into real traction. We believe distribution is the first wedge, and the best founders know how to use it.

We come from the same spaces our founders do. We build in public, think in the open, and use our own platform to help the companies we back get seen, supported, and taken seriously.

The Dragonfruit Advantage

Distribution is Our Moat

We’ve built a public-facing, high-signal platform that founders trust.

Social reach, events, and community building content give us a top-of-funnel most funds don’t have. Founders come to us before they fundraise - because we’re already where they are.

This is how we earn early access.

It’s how we spot momentum before it’s obvious.

Depth is Our Defensibility

Winning the deal is just the start. What makes us different is how we work after the check clears.

Through Dragonfruit Labs, we embed early and stay close, helping teams with strategic finance, GTM, hiring, and product clarity from day one. This operational layer turns early trust into a long-term partnership.

It’s how we make distribution meaningful.

And how we help companies build moats of their own.

What does a Dragonfruit founder look like?

First, presence

Have you already caught someone’s attention? Whether through product traction, a public voice, or niche buzz - you’re starting to build a community.

Second, momentum

Are you testing something real? Maybe you’ve shared ideas, gathered feedback, or launched a beta. We want founders who chase product market fit with curiosity and urgency.

Third, promise

Does it feel like more than a momentary spark? We look for something with staying power - an insight, approach, or status that could become meaningful over time. It doesn’t need to be bulletproof - but it needs to feel built to last.
