Jay Chaudry

Founder & CEO, Zscaler

“As a founder, you couldn’t ask for better support from your early investors. DTC became an important part of our story when they led our Series A. And they’re still delivering real value to us even as a public company with Scott Darling on our board.”

Jay Chaudry

Matthew Carroll

Co-founder & CEO, Immuta

I remember sitting down early on with the DTC team and walking through how Immuta would change the way technologies get built. They instantly understood the potential of what we’re building.

Matthew Carroll

Ofer Bengal

Founder, Redis

The DTC team knows enterprise sales inside and out. They were strong partners to us as we built out our initial sales motion and their intros landed us some of our largest customers in those early days.

Ofer Bengal

Zac Smith

Founder, Packet (Acq. by Equinix)

I can’t overstate how valuable the relationship with Del has been. Since the early days, Michael Dell and the entire DTC team have support me (as an entrepreneur) more than I could have ever hoped for.

Zac Smith

Geeta Schmidt

Co-founder of Humio (Acq. by Cloudstrike)

This team’s knowledge and expertise in data, security, and DevOps Is second to none. I highly recommend that any
high-growth enterprise startup seek out a partnership with the DTC team.

Geeta Schmidt

Garima Kapoor

Co-founder & COO, MinIO

The DTC team has deep experience in the fields we work in. We see them as partners that we could really lean on, especially when it came to early go-to-market and product positioning.
