Venture Capital

DCM Ventures

DCM Ventures (formerly Doll Capital Management, and commonly known as DCM) is an early-stage venture capital firm founded in 1996 by Dixon Doll, a former Accel partner, and David Chao, and headquartered at 2420 Sand Hill Road in Menlo Park, California with additional offices in Beijing and Tokyo. DCM was among the first Silicon Valley firms to build a cross-border, US-Asia investing practice, and typically leads early-stage rounds with checks in the roughly $1M-$5M range, deploying capital into a small group of category-defining companies each year rather than investing broadly. The firm's thesis has evolved from its original focus on communications and semiconductors toward consumer internet and SaaS, and today centers on vertical SaaS, fintech, cross-border innovation, and AI-native applications across the United States, China, Japan, and Southeast Asia. As of 2025 DCM manages approximately $4.5 billion in assets and reports 400+ portfolio companies, 35+ unicorns, and over $150 billion in aggregate market value, with notable investments including SoFi, Bill.com, Kuaishou, Matterport, 51job, Careem, and Sansan.
