Growth Equity

Dragoneer Investment Group

Dragoneer Investment Group is a San Francisco-based growth-oriented investment firm founded in 2012 by Marc Stad, a former TPG Capital and McKinsey investor. Dragoneer deploys long-duration capital across both public and private markets, concentrating on late-stage, high-growth technology companies rather than early-stage seed bets. In private markets it runs growth-equity funds that back category-leading private technology companies; in public markets it manages long-only strategy funds invested in listed technology businesses. Its capital comes from institutional limited partners including endowments, foundations, sovereign wealth funds, and family offices, and the firm is known for a patient, concentrated, founder-friendly approach that avoids traditional turnover. Dragoneer manages roughly $22B-$30B+ in assets under management (2024-2025), with sector focus spanning enterprise software, fintech and financial services, consumer internet, and artificial intelligence. The firm also sponsored a series of Dragoneer Growth Opportunities SPACs (which took CCC Intelligent Solutions and Cvent public) and is headquartered at the Letterman Digital Arts Center in San Francisco. Notable investments include Uber, Airbnb, Snowflake, Databricks, Slack, Spotify, DoorDash, Nubank, OpenAI, and Anthropic.

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.
