@jcspinell 🙏 Jason!

Beyond proud to join the Redpoint team.

It's an honor to join a firm filled with people who are ambitious, brilliant, and relentless in their support of founders... but who are also kind, warm, and grounded.

[Redpoint @Redpoint]

Welcome @dfkoz to Redpoint as Partner and Head of Founder Experience. 

Redpoint has invested in FX for a decade. As a team, we aim to deliver concrete value to our founders that manifests in the two most important things to any growing business: people to power the business, and customers to drive revenue.

A great team deserves a great leader. Dan is one of the first Platform leaders in venture, having spent a decade at FirstMark building out the network function and writing the original FX playbook that so many firms (Redpoint included) took inspiration from. He then spent the last couple of years building startup programs at Google.

Now, Dan will lead our FX team to keep delivering concrete value to Redpoint founders. Beyond the resume, Dan’s low-ego and founder-first instincts align perfectly with the ethos of our team. With Dan, our ambitions only grow: to identify, back, and accelerate more founders of generational companies.

Dan, we're so lucky to have you on our team. Welcome!!

@amirhaleem @mattturck I didn’t know Marc could play the keyboard

@bendhalpern That’s a great lens to apply… also made me think of a fourth category:

Manhattan commuters - anywhere with 40+ story office buildings (roughly 59th to Battery Park, ex East Village / LES)

[Dan K @dfkoz]

Its funny how unspecified the definition of “downtown” Manhattan is:

- New Yorker, aged 20-40: anything south of Houston (or 14th?)
- New Yorker, 40+: anything south of Central Park
- Non-New Yorker: all of Manhattan

[Dan K @dfkoz]

@emerywells If I have to take a stand, 100% it’s anything south of Houston

But after moving to the UES….. “downtown” means something different up here
