What is the DRF HQ Team?
Our HQ team is the engine that powers DRF and the compass that defines the fund’s strategic direction. The team’s eight members own three core goals:
1. Enable DRF to find and engage the world’s best student founders
2. Use diverse skills and expertise to help our founders succeed
3. Strengthen the DRF community
What does DRF HQ do?
Whether advising portfolio companies on their go-to-market strategies, creating content to engage and inspire new student founders, or leveraging analytics to help target the next great campus innovation ecosystem, our founders and partners count on HQ to make the magic happen — and tell the DRF story along the way. HQ team members are the strategic thinkers driving DRF’s growth, the creatives behind its brand, and the first call for founders in need.
Working closely with our CEO Molly Fowler, HQ is a SWAT team of top-notch student operators with backgrounds ranging from Bridgewater to SpaceX, Airbnb to Silicon Valley Bank and startups at every stage of growth. Members of our HQ team have gone on to found venture-funded companies, grow businesses to millions in revenue, become first engineers at some of the nation’s hottest startups, and lead teams in senior positions at tech companies post-grad.
