Redpoint

We recently published our fourth annual InfraRed 100 list and report, celebrating the most exciting private companies shaping the future of AI infrastructure. To mark the occasion, we brought InfraRed founders together at SFMOMA for an evening of conversation on the next chapter of AI. Explore the full InfraRed 100 list and read Redpoint’s perspective on the infrastructure layer shaping the future of AI: https://lnkd.in/dVPBWKhh Highlights from the event👇

Congratulations to Christina Qi and the entire Databento team on raising a $97M Series B. We are honored to continue to support this team! Market data is one of the largest and most entrenched categories in finance, yet accessing it has meant months of procurement and integration work just to get to the starting line. Before building Databento, Christina and the team lived this problem across quant trading and high-frequency market making. Now, institutional-grade market data is available on demand through Databento’s API-first platform. Three years in, Databento is the provider of choice for some of the world's most demanding financial firms, with a customer base collectively responsible for trillions of dollars in daily trading activity. We're proud to back Christina and the entire Databento team as they modernize one of the most entrenched categories in global finance. 🎉

We’re hearing from CISOs and enterprise leaders that today feels like the “wild west.” David McJannet, Scott Raney, and Satish D. break down why. As enterprises rapidly deploy agents across cloud platforms, data systems, and SaaS tools, there's no consistent way to govern and secure what's being built. In this video, they discuss how Dome Systems gives security and ops teams the visibility and policy controls they need to let AI actually work inside the enterprise, and why Dave and Marc are the right team to build it.

Claude just spun up 8 subagents to tackle the different shades of gray

Congratulations to Neil Movva, Samir Menon, and the Sail Research team on their $80M Seed & Series A round. We're excited to have invested in both the Seed and Series A alongside many fantastic co-investors. Today, agents run autonomously for hours, making thousands of decisions with no one in the loop. The industry needs an order-of-magnitude drop in cost per token, and Sail is rebuilding the inference stack from the silicon up to deliver it. Neil has spent his career at the hardware-software interface, from Tensor Cores at NVIDIA to the Neural Engine at Apple to leading GPU kernels at Together.ai. Samir's background spans applied cryptography and security, from cofounding Blyss to platform security work at Apple. Together, they've built a culture obsessed with efficiency, where every engineer owns their piece of the stack outright. In this video, they discuss why Sail bet on an order-of-magnitude drop in cost per token, why ownership is the trait they hire for, and why Renee Shah and Satish D. backed them on day one. Congratulations again, we are honored to partner with this team! Watch below 👇
