Redpoint has backed some of the biggest fintechs globally, including Stripe, Nubank, Ramp, and others.

When looking at their portfolio and talking with Urvashi, you find infrastructure is a common theme for the firm within fintech and Web3. We take a deep dive into why they find so much value in the space and how much improvement is still needed.
