Redpoint Ventures

Redpoint Ventures was founded in 1999 in Menlo Park by a group of experienced investors including Geoff Yang, Tim Haley, and John Walecka, several of whom had previously worked together at Institutional Venture Partners. The firm built its early reputation on Netflix, backing the company years before streaming existed as a category, and has since extended that pattern of early conviction into cloud infrastructure and SaaS, with investments in Twilio, Snowflake, Stripe, and HashiCorp.
