In late 2013, we reported that Tim Draper was leaving Draper Fisher Jurvetson, the Silicon Valley venture capital firm he had co-founded 28 years earlier. Specifically, we said that he would not be a general partner on DFJ’s next fund, which was raised the subsequent year.
But Tim took issue with our reporting, telling other media outlets that he was “not leaving DFJ. Ever. I am just skipping a fund to do some work building Draper University and experimenting with new models for venture capital.”
