About Draper Austin Ventures
Draper Austin Ventures is an early-stage venture capital firm based in Austin, Texas, with the backing of legendary investor Tim Draper. We invest in visionary founders at the pre-seed and seed stages who are reimagining industries and building transformative technologies.

Our focus spans deeptech, hardware, artificial intelligence, logistics, and emerging consumer products — sectors where bold innovation can reshape the world. Whether it's autonomous robotics, advanced manufacturing, space infrastructure, or next-gen computing, we partner with founders pushing the boundaries of what’s possible.

Rooted in Austin’s spirit of ingenuity and powered by the global Draper Network, we offer hands-on support, deep technical insight, and a long-term commitment to the founders building the future.
