Red Beard Ventures
Managing Partner
Our team has been working in and around the startup ecosystem for 15+ years. Building, investing and advising startups has helped us to gain a keen sense of what really matters... more when building a company. We develop empathy to the founder journey that only a startup founders can have.
We look to be early inventors in non-consensus companies/industries, focusing on:
Invest in Web 3.0 infrastructure, including blockchain/crypto, NFT’s, AR/VR, fintech, and other areas that enable us to build the future of the internet.
Frontier technology, reflecting a 0 -> 1 shift or 10x improvement across industries. We believe being opportunistic and generalists in this area enables us to capitalize on fundamental shifts in industries and technologies. As a result, we are paying close attention to the following:
The burgeoning space economy
Climate related technologies and infrastructure
Robotics and automation
The current revolution taking place in biology - including biotech, alternative proteins and other deviations of understanding life's code
Our existing portfolio already reflects much of this strategy, and is representative of the types of founders that we want to back: those building the future that we actually want to live in. As much of the venture ecosystem chases after high margin SaaS, we want to chase after innovations that represent leaps into the future - after all, that is not only the most exciting opportunity to invest in, but also the only way in which venture capitalists can generate the returns necessary to succeed.
