Capital, CONNECTIONS, Insights AND ADVISORY SERVICES TO REACH YOUR NEXT MILESTONE. 

Red Kettle seeks to evaluate deals quickly and to invest deeply. While the partners and our category experts have killer pedigrees in technology, we aim to fund exciting companies focused on solving a wide array of business problems. We pull from our many resources and deep bench to allow talented teams to focus on product – not just capital. In the end, we work alongside founders and their teams to achieve their next milestone, from Seed to Harvest.

While Red Kettle’s radius has no strict boundaries, we focus on companies that have launched and have early-stage recognized revenue trajectory. We have currently invested in over a dozen categories, from SaaS to automotive e-commerce, private events-hospitality, virtual reality and beyond.
