About Expert Dojo
Expert DOJO is a Santa Monica-based investment firm backing early-stage startups. We combine capital with hands-on support to help founders gain traction and scale faster than they could alone. Since 2019, we have invested in 266 startups, deployed $27 million of proprietary capital from our single family office, grown approximately 38% annually, and built the portfolio to $100 million in assets under management. We also manage the Nathan family office fund.
We are not a venture capital firm, nor are we trying to be one. We have built a different kind of investment model, one designed to serve allocators better and to replace the outdated incentives and structure of traditional VC.

Their focus is on building a more aligned and effective model for allocators than traditional venture capital has historically offered.
