About

Since 1981, Rho has been investing in innovation at all stages of growth. We partner with ambitious inventors, entrepreneurs, and operators to create market defining companies.

Investment approach

Thesis
Rho’s investment philosophy does not fit a conventional model, much like the visionary innovators we back. We believe that formulaic approaches to investing lead to risk averse strategies that stifle innovation and differentiation. We actively avoid restrictive boundaries around ideas, growth opportunities and entrepreneur profiles. To find extraordinary opportunities, we are not bound by a particular stage of investment and do not shy away from contrarian ideas.Source (opens in a new tab)
