RTP Global

RTP Ventures, the North American arm of RTP Global, is a self-funded early-stage venture capital firm founded in 2000 by Chairman and CEO Leonid Boguslavsky, headquartered in New York City with additional offices in London, Paris, Bangalore and Dubai. The firm backs founders who use technology to reimagine how the world works, with deep specialization in B2B software targeting banking and financial services, healthcare and manufacturing, alongside AI and machine learning, enterprise software, fintech, e-commerce, edtech, SaaS and cloud. RTP is unusual among global VCs in that its capital comes almost entirely from reinvested proceeds of prior portfolio wins, which means no external LP pressure and the freedom to support founders over very long time horizons. RTP leads rounds and has raised a $650 million Fund III in 2020 and a $1 billion Fund IV, approximately 54% larger than its predecessor. AUM exceeded $3 billion as of early 2022. The firm has made more than 110 investments globally, with approximately 1 in 10 portfolio companies becoming unicorns and 1 in 20 reaching decacorn status. Headline portfolio names include Datadog (IPO), DeliveryHero (IPO), Cred (last valued at approximately $4 billion), Miro, Picsart, Socure, Qonto, DataRobot and dbt Labs. Notable 2024 investments include enterprise data platform Conduktor, climate-tech company Varaha and neobank Comun. RTP's self-funded model and global platform -- spanning North America, Europe, India and Southeast Asia -- allow the firm to engage with founders across geographies without the constraints of traditional LP timelines, and to double down on winners across multiple fund cycles in a way that institutionally funded firms rarely can.
