Redpoint has a successful history of partnering with outstanding entrepreneurs through its Entrepreneur-in-Residence program. By teaming up early on, we accelerate the time it takes to identify a large market opportunity and create a great company to go after it.

EIRs tap Redpoint’s domain knowledge and network as well as our deal flow and deep understanding of early-stage dynamics. In turn, Redpoint benefits from their hands-on experience taking companies from concept to reality, building world-class management teams and executing flawlessly.

Case in point. Satish Dharmaraj—one of the original Java architects at Sun Microsystems—joined as an EIR in 2003. Satish worked with us to incubate an enterprise messaging concept. The company became Zimbra, an open source messaging and collaboration leader, which Redpoint funded. Today, Zimbra has become one of the most exciting open source companies with a world-class management team and a growing list of customers.

Redpoint is always looking for the right individuals to partner with in this way. Interested? Drop one of us a line.
