Analyse your fitInvestment thesis
RTP Global is a self-funded, global early-stage venture capital firm that backs ambitious founders who are reshaping the world through technology. Founded in 2000 by Leonid Boguslavsky, the firm invests at Seed, Series A, and Series B across B2B and B2C technology — including AI/ML, B2B SaaS, devOps, fintech, e-commerce, health, edtech, climate, and transport — with a typical initial check of $1M–$15M and a focus on companies with ARR between $300K and $1M. RTP's capital comes almost entirely from reinvesting proceeds of prior portfolio wins (including Datadog, Delivery Hero, and SumUp), giving it genuine long-term alignment with founders and the freedom to hold investments for up to 20 years. With investment teams on the ground in New York, London, Paris, Bangalore, and Dubai, the firm operates a 'high-speed/low-drag' model — making rapid decisions and providing hands-on strategic support, market-entry guidance, and access to a global network of entrepreneurs and operators.
Notable quotes
“Throughout our history, RTP Global has invested in 90 companies from more than ten countries across Europe, Asia, and North America. In our portfolio, we have eight unicorns, and five of them became multi-billion public companies: Yandex, EPAM, Delivery Hero, RingCentral, and Datadog.”
“I'm a big fan of founders who dream and think globally about their business from day one, and 'work backward' from a very ambitious vision. A major pitfall for founders to avoid is forgetting about the numbers — having a firm grasp of the metrics of your business is very important and becomes more and more important as companies scale.”
“We're big believers in productive collaboration and we hope to continue these great working relationships in the new fund and beyond. Historically the firm has invested anywhere up to USD 15m as an initial investment — we take pride in being flexible capital partners if we need to flex up or down in initial rounds, where we typically enter at the Seed or Series A.”
