Tim Draper

Timothy C. Draper is the Founder and Managing Director of Draper Fisher Jurvetson. His original suggestion to use "viral marketing" in web-based e-mail to geometrically spread an Internet product to its market was instrumental to the successes of Hotmail and Four11.

On behalf of Draper Fisher Jurvetson, Tim serves on the boards of Chroma Graphics, Homestead, MailFrontier, and PLX Technologies (PLXT). Tim launched the Draper Affiliate Network, a group of regional early-stage venture capital funds, including Zone Ventures in Los Angeles, Draper Atlantic in Reston, VA, Draper Triangle in Pittsburgh, PA, Wasatch Ventures in Salt Lake City, UT, Timberline Ventures in Portland, OR, Polaris Fund in Anchorage, AK, Draper Fisher Jurvetson Gotham in New York and DFJ Frontier in Sacramento, CA and Santa Barbara, CA.
