Backing the best for the distance

Founding a world-changing company is a marathon, not a sprint — and raising capital is just the starting gun. What matters most is what comes next: the months and years of building, adapting, and persevering. That’s where we prove our value.


It’s an unwavering commitment to your vision. Expertise that provides an invaluable perspective in a rapidly changing landscape. And a boutique model that favors deeper relationships over broader portfolios — which means you’ve got a mentor when you need one, a powerful network when it counts, and a partner by your side for every step of the journey.

The confidence to commit early

We combine 30 years of experience and deep AI analysis to identify the rare early-stage founders with a vision and the guts to see it through.

We back bold companies across sectors. What unites them isn’t industry — it’s a clear thesis for technological transformation, and founders we believe in.

Our difference? Depth.

At RRE, success isn’t an accident — it’s a recipe we’ve spent decades perfecting. Here, deeper experience, relationships, and commitment combine to build value for founders and LPs.

Deeper Experience

In an inflection point, the perspective of experience is a decisive advantage. We bring 30 years of wisdom earned through multiple cycles and technological shifts — plus, insights from GPs who are domain experts and former founders and operators.

Deeper relationships

We designed RRE as a boutique firm where founders work directly with seasoned partners, forming lasting relationships built on trust and mutual respect. And we remain committed to that model today for a simple reason — it works.

Deeper commitment

We exist to support visionary founders as they reshape their industries. That can take years.

But that’s the bedrock of RRE: backing the best for the distance. We stand by our founders and fight for their success at every step. Through good times and, especially, when things get tough.

Amplified by AI

By strategically integrating AI throughout the venture lifecycle, we give founders the best of both worlds — the agility and personal touch of a boutique firm with the depth, reach, and scale of a big firm’s “army of analysts.”

From diligence and decision-making to portfolio intelligence and network activation, AI augments our expertise so we can see more, move faster, think deeper, and act decisively to seize opportunities. 

"When a company IPOs, you get to re-jigger your board. And I threw every investor off. But one I asked, if not begged, if he would stay on my board. And that is Will Porteous.”

Peter Platzer
Founder & Executive Chairman, Spire Global

"Will and RRE have been great partners. They have always understood BuzzFeed’s vision for a new global media company and they’ve always put the company first. They’ve been a steady, constructive voice since BuzzFeed’s earliest days.

Jonah Peretti
Founder & CEO, Buzzfeed

"When I first met Vic, I just knew we had to work together. He is super intelligent, energetic, entrepreneurial, and he deeply understood the problem space and the market opportunity we are going after. We are truly honored and thrilled to have Vic and RRE help realize Foundation EGI's vision."

Mok Oh
Founder & CEO, Foundation EGI

"I’ve known Stu for over 20 years and he has consistently been the most relied upon board member and investment executive for me, our management team and overall board. Much of our success at Prove can be attributed to Stu Ellman and the RRE team."

Rodger Desai
CEO, Prove

"Raju's ability to understand interoperability, and where we [Redox] sit in that very fragmented landscape, has been instrumental."

Trip Hofer
CEO, Redox

"RRE was always going to be a core part of our round in the Seed and Series A as well. It was never a question. It’s a relationship that you really can’t replicate with another team in venture. "

Vishal Gupta
Founder & CEO, True Markets

"The team at RRE are the strongest founder advocates I’ve ever worked with. They not only get business and venture building, but they also get being a founder and starting a business and what that means. They’re conviction to that, their pattern-matching, and their empathy are deeply human and supportive."

Mauhan Zonoozy
Founder & CEO, A Vinyl Bar in Shibuya

"As a founder, you're very attached to what you're building. Having an individual like Will on your board, who has a real sense of empathy, provides a level of mentorship and comfort that allows us to have hard conversations and really take an idea through to its potential."

Adam Maher
CEO & Founder
