Palo Alto, Calif.-based DAG, which has joined later round investments in companies backed by heavyweights Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers, Sequoia Capital and Benchmark Capital on all 13 of its deals so far this year, also plans to add at least one new partner by the beginning of next year, the partner said.
