Announcing Jacob Effron’s Promotion to Managing Director

We’re excited to share that Jacob Effron has been promoted to Managing Director at Redpoint.

Since joining the firm in 2020, Jacob has built a reputation as one of the most thoughtful and trusted voices in venture. His investments in companies such as Abridge, Legora, Garner Health, Scribe, AcuityMD, Ramp, Physical Intelligence, poolside, Deliverect, Strive Health and Ideogram speak volumes about his ability to identify and support transformational teams.

Great founders consistently seek Jacob out. He is known for his intellectual rigor, first-principles thinking, and relentless commitment to helping entrepreneurs succeed. He is not only a valued thought partner but someone whose insights and contributions materially shape the companies he works with.

Internally, Jacob brings the same clarity and commitment that define his work with founders. He sharpens every discussion, builds conviction through outstanding diligence, carries himself without ego, and consistently leads by example. That combination of humility and intellectual drive is rare. Most importantly, he is a genuinely good person and a pleasure to work with.

Jacob’s drive to create lasting, high-quality work can also be seen in his two podcasts—Vital Signs and Unsupervised Learning—focused on healthcare and AI, respectively. Both are trusted resources for founders, operators, and investors looking to understand and navigate the most important innovations of our time.

In this business, few signals are clearer than the respect of great founders and the conviction of your partners. Jacob has earned both. We’re fortunate to call him a colleague, and even more excited for what lies ahead as we continue building with him.

Congratulations, Jacob!
