Red Bike Capital

Red Bike Capital is an early stage VC fund based in New York that invests in Vertical & AI, Fintech and Health & Wellness. 

We invest in experienced, technical founders with deep founder-market fit, solving big problems while demonstrating capital efficiency. Focus areas include data and AI, future of commerce and revenue growth, logistics and supply chain, alternative underwriting and business of healthcare. 

Our investment team brings a deep connection to the startup ecosystem and a proven track record in asset management. This includes founding and scaling a top-performing Y Combinator company by revenue and successfully deploying over $2 billion in assets. 

At Red Bike, we don’t just invest. We connect. We add specific value in GTM. We help you get from 0 to 1 so you can get to 100 and a billion. 

We help founders secure their first enterprise customers by sharpening their value proposition, building a clear sales process, and making the introductions that matter. In a market where distribution drives success more than ever, we back teams with strong technology and a go-to-market strategy built to scale.

As founders ourselves, we understand the roadblocks and the opportunities that come with building a company. We are hands-on partners, committed to helping our portfolio grow from early traction to lasting impact.

When 12-year-old Cassius Clay (later known as Muhammad Ali) had his new red Schwinn bicycle stolen in Louisville, he went to a policeman and said he wanted to "whup" the thief. The officer, Joe Martin, told him “well, before talking about whupping someone, you'd better learn how to fight.” 

Martin ran a local boxing gym and became Ali’s first coach. For the first six years of Ali's carer, he worked under Martin's guidance, turning raw frustration into focus, becoming a world champion. It was a pivotal moment, overcoming adversity and turning challenge into opportunity, leading to greatness.

At Red Bike Capital, we understand that adversity can lead to greatness. We help founders channel their drive into discipline and execution, particularly through GTM and Growth. Turn challenges into pivotal moments and prepare for the fight that is scaling. Like Ali’s first coach, we back talent early, help them master their craft, and turn potential into performance.
