Why RTP Global: Interviews, Careers, & Portfolio

RTP Global Overview

RTP Global is one of the most distinctive venture firms in Europe. Originally ru-Net (founded 2000), the firm operates as a self-funded VC — reinvesting proceeds from exits like Datadog (IPO 2019, $9B+), Delivery Hero, and SumUp rather than raising from external LPs. This gives RTP unusual flexibility: no LP pressure, no fixed fund lifecycle, no forced exits.

RTP Global AUM

Fund IV closed at $1B — $660M for early-stage and $340M for follow-ons. The firm has quadrupled headcount since 2020 across London, New York, Paris, Bangalore, and Dubai. 329 investments over 15+ years.
