Red River West

Red River West is a transatlantic venture capital firm that focuses on supporting exceptional European tech companies as they expand into the U.S. market. Founded with the mission to bridge the gap between Europe and the U.S., Red River West provides both significant financial backing and hands-on support to help startups achieve global success. The firm adopts a narrow portfolio strategy, investing in only around 10 companies per fund. This approach allows the team to dedicate substantial time and resources to each portfolio company, offering deep, game-changing support on both continents. This model is especially unique in the VC world and aligns with Red River West’s commitment to environmental, social, and governance (ESG) principles. The firm’s latest fund, RRW II Growth, is classified under Article 8 of the SFDR regulation, focusing on ethical technology, people’s well-being, and carbon reduction. Red River West is backed by Groupe Artémis, the holding company of the Pinault family, which provides it with significant financial firepower. The firm’s team, which includes experts with extensive experience in both European and U.S. markets, works closely with founders to navigate the complexities of international expansion, particularly from Europe to the U.S.​
