Senior🎓
Top SchoolGeoff Yang is a veteran venture capitalist and company builder who has spent decades partnering with visionary entrepreneurs to create and scale market-defining companies. As Founding Partner and Managing Director at Redpoint Ventures since 1999, he has been a lead investor and board member for high-profile companies including Ask.com, TiVo, MySpace, Scribd, Tastemade, Arista, and Juniper. He also repeatedly returns to founding roles—most recently with LaneOne, Performance Health Sciences, Rock the Bells, Apeiron Life, and Rounder—demonstrating a hands-on appetite for building businesses across media, consumer, and communications infrastructure. Geoff combines deep boardroom experience with operating curiosity, serving on boards from Warner Bros. Discovery to Franklin Templeton and chairing major nonprofit foundations like the US Olympic & Paralympic Foundation. Based in Redwood City, he pairs an analytical Stanford MBA and Princeton engineering background with a track record of spotting intersectional opportunities between internet/TV media and network infrastructure. Less obvious: he balances high-level investing with serial entrepreneurship, often stepping into founder or chairman roles to de-risk and accelerate nascent ventures.
