View Live Interactive Profile →Josh Stein built a real operating background as co-founder and Chief Strategy Officer of ViaFone before joining Draper Fisher Jurvetson in 2004, where he spent 15 years backing enterprise and consumer technology companies. He led Box's first institutional investment and sat on its board through its NYSE IPO, and backed Redfin, Twilio, and Doximity in their early rounds. In 2019, Stein and longtime colleague Emily Melton rebranded DFJ as Threshold Ventures, continuing the firm's focus on developer tools, enterprise software, and fintech while emphasizing hands-on founder mentorship over capital alone. He currently holds board seats at LaunchDarkly, Talkdesk, and several other portfolio companies, and was named to the Forbes Midas List and named Deloitte's VC of the Year during his DFJ tenure.
