Overview

Expert DOJO is one of the most active international early-stage startup accelerator and venture capital fund in Southern California. We invest on average $50,000 in each of our startups and up to $1,000,000 of follow-on investment to companies who have demonstrated exceptional growth. We help our companies get traction and scale faster than they could ever do by themselves.

Since 2018, we have invested in over 260 startups globally to accelerate their growth. What makes us special is our focus on building visionary companies. If you can visualize your unicorn, you have a higher probability of achieving its full potential. That’s where Expert DOJO comes in.

We invest in pre-seed and seed companies ready to scale quickly. Most of our startups are minority and female founded technology companies. However, we remain industry agnostic and invest in founders from all over the world and from diverse backgrounds.
