D2 is a venture capital firm that invests in early-stage startups. We help founders own more of their business at exit by bringing the right type of capital at the right time.
Equity financing has been the go-to for startup funding for a long time. Startups are inherently risky, so it has made sense to fund them this way. The startup playbook has matured a lot over the last decade - venture funding...not so much.
We’ve set out to give more options to the founders we partner with, and the in-house expertise needed to understand which of those options leads to the best outcomes for everyone involved.
