Jocelyn Kinsey

There’s nothing more rewarding to me than making a lasting connection with a founder and helping them bring their big ideas to life. Whether it’s introducing them to the right people, sharing lessons from other founders who’ve been through the scaling journey, or spotting patterns across industries, it’s all about building real, meaningful relationships that make a difference.

She joined the team in 2014 and has been actively involved with DFJ Growth’s investments in Collective Health, Giphy, Helix, Mapbox, Neocis, Patreon, Ring (Amazon), Splice, and Vannevar Labs.
