Medha Agarwal

When I started Roomidex, I learned firsthand that being a founder is one of the hardest jobs in the world. And it can be really lonely. The most important thing you can do is to find people you trust and can call on for anything big or small—and I like to be that for my founders. I have a ton of respect for all founders, especially those with enough endurance and foresight for the entire marathon, with all of its ups and downs.

Alex Bard

I view myself as an extension of the team. I hope to be the first call that founders make when they are facing a challenge because they trust that no matter what, we will work together to get the right outcome. It is also nice to get the first call when celebrating big milestones.

Urvashi Barooah

My role is to do whatever it takes to help our founders be successful. It could mean being a sounding board for ideas, making introductions, and above all, being there for them through thick and thin.

Erica Brescia

I love the constant evolution of how we build and run software. It’s dynamic and we’re always pursuing better, simpler, and faster ways to enable more people to build. The increase in developers around the world is staggering and will unlock so much global potential, especially in developing countries. The future is very bright.

Patrick Chase

I wanted to be a part of this team and culture. Everyone works extremely hard but doesn’t forget to have fun and be nice while doing it. We always work together to find the best course of action. From my time playing college tennis, I knew I wanted to work in a place where everyone puts the good of the team before themselves, and we definitely do that here.

Meera Clark

I view myself as an extension of the team. I will always be there to support portfolio founders and their teams as they reach seminal inflection points – be it closing a big hire, signing a game-changing contract, or achieving a new revenue milestone. Whether it’s on the sidelines as their biggest cheerleader or on the field stretching to fill any near-term team needs, there are few things more fulfilling for me than being a part of a win for people I care about and believe in so deeply.

Satish Dharamaraj

A lot of times when you’re running a company it feels like whether it succeeds or fails is on you and you alone. I don’t want you to feel that. We are with you on this journey. I want to be a partner that you can lean on like a co-founder. I would like to help you with your strategic decisions but not ever be in the tactical weeds of running your company.

Annie Kadavy

I wanted to spend all of my time with entrepreneurs who are building our collective future and get to play a small supporting role in that. I joined Redpoint specifically because I wanted to be part of a team day-to-day who brings diverse perspectives but is values-aligned.

Jacob Effron

It’s incredibly inspiring and energizing to partner with enormously talented people who are relentless in their pursuit of bold, transformative visions.

So many talented entrepreneurs are now innovating in heavily regulated industries like healthcare and financial services.  As companies build on each other’s success in these sectors, I’m excited to see a new ecosystem emerge that modernizes these industries and significantly improves the lives of the people they touch.

Elliot Geidt

I love deconstructing complex business models and seeing value where others do not.

Adele Ali

Being a founder can often be a hard and lonely journey; I like to be an advocate for our founders and listen to and support them in any way I can.

Venture investing takes what is fundamental today and applies a teamwork approach to advancing ambitious ideas.

I’m really excited about the customer success stack. We all are consumers of goods, games, services, and entertainment― I think vertically oriented SaaS businesses will enable companies to make better data-driven decisions.

Emily Man

I view my job as an investor as being an extension of their team, ready to roll up my sleeves and help get things done. Someone once told me that being a VC is a little like being a lawyer, accountant, recruiter, salesperson, and friend all rolled up into one.

Scott Raney

I have worked at multiple startups and I know how difficult it is to build a company. These experiences helped me develop a sense of empathy and humility I try to bring to every interaction I have with entrepreneurs.

Sai Senthilkumar

An interesting market has intense competition and several components in its value chain. Companies are constantly trying to outdo each other, which creates a better experience for the end user. Integrating different parts in the value chain could result in disruption and redefining the market itself.

Jason Warner

I want to work with the best founders doing things that won’t be obvious for another decade.

Jeff Brody

Jeff was a co-founder of Redpoint in 1999 and has been fortunate to invest with many dedicated entrepreneurs to help them build successful businesses in a broad range of industries.
