Growth Equity

D1 Capital Partners

D1 Capital Partners is a New York City-based global investment firm founded in July 2018 by Daniel Sundheim, the former Chief Investment Officer of Viking Global Investors, who seeded the firm with more than $500 million of his own capital. The name "D1" references Amazon founder Jeff Bezos's "Day One" philosophy. D1 deploys capital across both public and private markets: in public markets it runs a global long/short equity strategy (including equity derivatives and convertible bonds) targeting medium- to long-term returns, while in private markets it takes later-stage, non-controlling growth-equity stakes in expanding companies. The firm's private portfolio spans consumer, business services, financial services, healthcare, industrials, real estate, and technology, media and telecommunications, with notable positions in companies such as SpaceX, Stripe, Anthropic, OpenAI, Ramp, Robinhood, GitLab, and Instacart. As a "Tiger Cub" descended from Viking Global, D1 grew from roughly $3 billion at launch to more than $20 billion by the end of 2020, and has been reported managing on the order of $24 billion in assets. It is headquartered at 9 West 57th Street in Manhattan.

A facet is averaged over the members that carry it, not over the whole cohort — the “Scored” column is that count. Averaging an absent facet as zero would score our own coverage gaps as the providers’ posture.
