🔥 BERNIE'S HOT TAKE

DCM is a solid, no-nonsense shop that actually helps you scale internationally if that's your thing. They're particularly strong if you're building B2B software and want access to Asian markets - their network there is legit. Jason Krikorian is sharp on product strategy and won't sugarcoat feedback. The downside? They're not the flashiest name on your cap table, and their marketing game is pretty weak compared to peers. They tend to be methodical rather than aggressive, which is great for steady builders but might frustrate founders who want rapid-fire decision making.

KEY TAKEAWAYS
  • Best for: B2B software companies looking for international expansion help
  • Watch out for: Slower decision-making process compared to top-tier funds
  • Known for: Strong Asia connections and practical post-investment support
