Top SchoolKevin Tu is a partner at DFJ Growth who leverages 12 years of engineering and investing experience to back full-stack enterprise and deep-tech companies ready for hyper-growth. Trained at MIT and seasoned as a software engineer across products from Kindle and Pebble to Google Glass experiments, he pairs hands-on technical fluency with M&A and growth-investing chops from J.P. Morgan and Summit Partners. At DFJ Growth he focuses on infrastructure, security, open source, developer tools, AI, and frontier technologies, and often steps into interim operating roles such as FP&A at Cohesity to help scale operations. Comfortable translating low-level technical tradeoffs into board-level strategy, he looks for post-product-market-fit teams building category-defining platforms. Notably, his background spans both academic AI research in spoken language systems and pragmatic product engineering, giving him a rare ability to evaluate deeply technical startups through a business lens.
