Chris Moore

Chris Moore has been with Redpoint Ventures since the firm's founding in 1999, making him one of its longest-tenured investors; the firm's team page lists him as a Partner and partner emeritus. Over more than two decades he has focused on entrepreneurs building mobile-first companies, monetization and data platforms, and marketplaces — a thesis closely tied to the rise of internet advertising and consumer data businesses in the 2000s and 2010s.

Before venture capital, Moore held product and business development roles at two early e-commerce pioneers, wine.com and Peapod, giving him operating exposure to consumer internet companies before joining Redpoint at its inception.

Moore holds a BA in mathematics and economics from Dartmouth College and an MBA from the Stanford Graduate School of Business. On a personal note, Redpoint's profile describes him as a "die-hard Packer fan" who prefers fly fishing.

In recent years Moore has shifted into a partner-emeritus role at Redpoint while remaining active as an individual/angel backer of seed-stage companies, participating alongside other prominent operators and investors in early rounds.

• Invests in founders building mobile-first companies, monetization platforms, and marketplaces (Redpoint's stated description of his focus).
• Strong track record in ad tech, data, and monetization infrastructure — many of his exits were data/advertising platforms acquired by large strategics.
• Operates at seed and early stages, both through Redpoint and as an angel investor in his emeritus phase.
• Tends to back companies that become acquisition targets for major platforms (Adobe, Oracle, Yahoo, Google, LinkedIn, SoFi), reflecting a focus on category-defining infrastructure and data assets.
