The Redpoint Team

Finding the right venture partner boils down to people and chemistry. Although each Redpoint partner brings a unique set of skills and experiences, we share a common set of core values: integrity and trust; a passion for technology; a commitment to being a hands-on, hard-working partner; a belief in the power of a true team approach; a desire to change the world. And above all, we have a deep respect for the entrepreneur and the entrepreneurial process.
