Founder & Partner at RTP Global · Joined 2000
View Live Interactive Profile →Leonid Boguslavsky founded RTP Global in 2000 after building wealth as an entrepreneur and internet investor, and funded the firm's early activity largely by reinvesting his own prior gains rather than raising extensively from outside limited partners - an unusual structure that still shapes how RTP operates today. That self-funded, founder-capitalized model gives the firm an unusually long time horizon and a reputation for fast decision-making, since it isn't bound by the same fundraising cycles as a traditional LP-backed fund. Boguslavsky's highest-profile bet came in 2012, when RTP backed Datadog's Series A round years before the observability company's 2019 Nasdaq IPO, and the firm has since built a global footprint spanning New York, London, Paris, and Bengaluru while staying close to his original founder-led model.
