What DVC costs
DVC is a venture capital firm, not a product: there is no price list. What it costs depends on which side of the table you are on, and the short answer for founders is nothing.
Founders
Nothing, at any point. Pitching is free — the founder form takes no payment and there is no listing fee — and DVC charges the companies it backs nothing for introductions, for the collective, or for the software it builds for them. It invests cash for equity ($100K–$300K at pre-seed and seed, $1M–$3M follow-on at Series A/B into its own seed portfolio), so what it earns from a company it backs comes from that stake.

Each fund has its own terms — the management fee, the carried interest and the minimum commitment — and they are set out in that fund’s offering documents rather than published here. Our IR team shares them with accredited investors who apply.

There is nothing on dvc.ai to buy: no subscription, no paid tier, no API with a price per call. The site, the portfolio pages, the State of AI report and the machine-readable files an agent reads are all free and open.
