Redpoint Ventures was
formed in 1999 with partners from Brentwood Venture Capital and
Institutional Venture Partners, two firms that have been successfully
investing in technology since the early days of venture capital. This
gives the company a deep bench of experienced partners with success in
building
companies throughout the technology industry. The partners all have
established track records—from early investments in industry pioneers
like TiVo, NetFlix, Ask Jeeves, Foundry Networks and Juniper Networks
to exciting new companies such as MySpace, Calix, MobiTV, BigBand
Networks, Fortinet, Right Media and HomeAway. With a critical mass of
partners in each area of focus, Redpoint brings the full weight of the
partnership to every endeavor. This collective experience provides the
partners with keen judgment on how to get things done right and insight
into
where things might go wrong.
Redpoint was founded with a single vision;
Partner with exceptional entrepreneurs to help build companies that
define industries and shape the future. Redpoint brings more than
just capital. It has 100 collective years of experience and over $2
billion under management—including 34 IPOs and 54 upside
acquisitions.
Redpoint partners with
entrepreneurs every step of the way, bringing deep market knowledge and
contacts as well as operational expertise. The company strives to be the entrepreneur's closest and most loyal ally by being hands on and doing whatever it takes to succeed.
Redpoint provides our companies with access to an
expansive network of business leaders and seasoned executives.
Entrepreneurs leverage these relationships to find new team members,
forge strategic partnerships and identify customers.
Redpoint partners have
spent years developing domain and market expertise. This knowledge
enables them to have a meaningful impact on companies that are tackling
entirely new markets or redefining established ones. This knowledge
also allows each partner to continually sharpen their point of
view on where markets are heading.
