DCVC (Data Collective)
DCVC (Data Collective) is a deep-tech venture capital firm founded in 2011 and headquartered in Palo Alto and San Francisco, California. Founded and led by managing partners Matt Ocko and Zachary Bogue, DCVC backs entrepreneurs using computational and AI-driven approaches to solve trillion-dollar problems in the real world across sectors that have often seen little material progress in decades. The firm invests from early through growth stages across AI, compute and quantum, computational biology and chemistry, cybersecurity and defense, energy and climate, finance and insurance, industrial transformation and advanced manufacturing, next-gen agriculture, space, TechBio and TechMed. Across 13+ funds DCVC manages roughly $4B in assets under management (self-reported / press), making it one of the larger dedicated deep-tech franchises. Notable portfolio outcomes include companies spanning fusion energy, carbon transformation, robotics, drug discovery, and data infrastructure.
Every DCVC company that ships an API, scored the way a machine reads it — a small deep-tech book that instruments its own agents but builds almost nothing at the top.
DCVC (Data Collective) has 292 portfolio companies tracked on the APIs.io network, of which 292 (100%) publish APIs indexed here.
Its highest-rated API providers on the network are Honeycomb Io, Nylas, Health Gorilla, Confluent, Flutterwave.

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.
| Artifact | This cohort | Catalog | Difference |
|---|---|---|---|
| MCP server (any) | 12% | 16% | -4 |
| MCP server (first-party) | 6% | 7% | -1 |
