🔥 BERNIE'S HOT TAKE

Dcode is the real deal if you're selling to the government - they actually understand the byzantine federal procurement process and have the relationships to help you navigate it. Unlike most VCs who talk a big game about GovTech, these folks have actually done it. The downside? They're laser-focused on dual-use, so if your tech doesn't have clear government applications, look elsewhere. They're also smaller than the big-name funds, so don't expect huge follow-on rounds. But if you're in cybersecurity, data analytics, or infrastructure with government potential, they're genuinely helpful and connected.

KEY TAKEAWAYS
  • Best for: B2B companies with clear government market potential
  • Watch out for: Limited follow-on capacity for large growth rounds
  • Known for: Actually understanding federal procurement and having real relationships
Investment Thesis

Dcode Capital invests in emerging technology companies that can serve government and commercial markets, with a focus on dual-use technologies. They emphasize companies that can navigate the complex government procurement process while scaling commercially.

Stage & Sector Focus

Early to growth stage B2B software, cybersecurity, data analytics, and infrastructure companies with government market potential. Series A through C focus, typically $5-25M checks.
