PUBLIC:DFJ is a truly entrepreneurial venture firm. They look for great entrepreneurs and big ideas, and are comfortable with pushing the envelope and the inevitable strategy swings in the early days of a company. Emily Melton is a great board member, always available to provide assistance and support but allows me to build the company.
