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.”

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.

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.

Zac Smith

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

Geeta Schmidt

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.

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.
