About
D.E. Shaw Ventures is the venture and growth equity investing group of the D.E. Shaw group, a global investment and technology development firm founded in 1988 with over $60 billion in investment capital. The venture arm is anchored by the D.E.

D.E. Shaw brings founders a rare combination of technical depth, risk management expertise, and patient capital across private markets.
