Ол бизнес мектебінің екінші курсынан кейін DFJ компаниясына қосылды және бірнеше инвестициялардағы өзінің талантын дәлелдегеннен кейін серіктес атанды. DFJ-де Юрветсон Hotmail, Interwoven, Kana, Tradex және Cyras компанияларына табысты инвестициялар жасады. Алайда, DFJ және Юрветсон Элизабет Холмс пен даулы қан сынағы компаниясы Theranos-қа алғашқы қаржылық қолдау көрсеткендердің қатарында болды. 2016 жылы президент Барак Обама Юрветсонды жаһандық кәсіпкерліктің президенттік елшісі етіп тағайындады. 2017 жылдың 13 қарашасында Юрветсон DFJ Venture Capital компаниясындағы лауазымынан кетіп, SpaceX және Tesla директорлар кеңесінен демалысқа шықты, себебі DFJ компаниясының ішінде сексуалдық қысым көрсету туралы шағымдар бойынша тергеу жүргізілді. Мінез-құлқына қатысты айыптаулар болғанымен, DFJ сексуалдық қысым көрсету немесе бұзушылық туралы ресми шағым алмады. Тергеудің нәтижелері жарияланбады, бірақ анонимді дереккөздер тергеу Юрветсонның "кәсіпкер әйелдерге деген жағымсыз көзқарасын" анықтағанын мәлімдеді. Юрветсон лауазымынан кетуі айыптаулармен байланысты емес екенін мәлімдеп, Twitter-де жарияланған хабарламасында "Мен жеке мәселелерге назар аудару үшін DFJ-ден кетемін" деп жазды. Recode журналы Юрветсонның жұмыстан босатылып, кейіннен компаниядан қуылғанын хабарлады.
