Our story
RNP Capital wasn’t built in a boardroom...
...it was forged through decades of execution, enterprise relationships, and firsthand startup growth.
It started in the late 1990s. Alan Dumas and David Bates, veterans of the technology sales and integration space, built Accunet Solutions into a leader in data center build-outs and the largest global partner for Isilon Systems.
When Isilon was acquired for $2.3B, the realization hit hard:
“If we had simply asked to be investors in their early stage, we would have made more.”
That moment sparked the idea for RNP: invest earlier, deliver more value than capital alone, and bring real operators into the investment game.
Today, RNP is a full-stack investment and execution engine. We bring customers through DTG’s national sales force, provide founder-tested GTM playbooks, and activate a strategic LP network that includes CISOs, CTOs, and operators across the enterprise.
We exist to bring real-world execution back into early-stage investing, and we’ve built the track record to prove it.
