Dana Oshiro is a General Partner at Heavybit, where she previously built the firm’s brand, accelerator, operations team, and 800-person mentorship network from the ground up. She leads pre-seed through Series-A investments in developer tools, cloud and open-source infrastructure, and AI/ML startups, focusing exclusively on developer-first companies. Her investment thesis targets the “plumbing of the internet”—including developer tools, cloud infrastructure, AI, and open source—at the stage when technical founders have more conviction than cash. While specific check sizes and lead/follow behavior are not publicly detailed, she actively leads rounds across the pre-seed to Series-A spectrum. Notable portfolio companies she has supported include LaunchDarkly, Netlify, Snyk, CircleCI, and Tailscale, for which she launched over 60 developer-first products. Oshiro currently holds board seats with Yetto and Everfund and is described as a “recovering tech journalist” who has been featured in The New York Times, Forbes, and VentureBeat.
