Matan Roet joined Redpoint Ventures in July 2025 to back the next wave of cybersecurity, AI, and data‑infrastructure startups. His career blends four years of engineering at Google and Microsoft—shipping large‑scale cloud features—with earlier service in an elite Israeli Defense Forces unit, where he earned an IDF Innovation Award for developing mission‑critical intelligence systems. This combination of deep technical chops and operational rigor helps him spot bold founders early and guide them through product‑market fit and go‑to‑market inflection points.

Academically, Matan holds both an M.S. in Engineering and an M.B.A. from Harvard University, as well as a dual B.Sc. in Computer Science and Statistics from Tel Aviv University. His machine‑learning research predicting cancer‑patient survival rates won a departmental prize, underscoring his ability to translate frontier technology into real‑world impact.

Outside of work, Matan is a lifelong music nerd, pickup‑basketball regular, and student of Zen philosophy—always happy to swap playlists or debate the art of focus over a perfectly pulled espresso.
