About Richmond Global
Mission
We are investors and operators who have experienced both meaningful successes and instructive failures. Through these experiences, we have developed insights that guide our investment philosophy, centered on seven fundamental questions:
- Does the entrepreneur envision with ambition, assess risk with pragmatism, and execute with resourcefulness?
- Do they navigate with curiosity as their compass, authenticity as their mainsail, and resilience as their keel?
- Is integrity their foundation?
When these qualities align, we believe we have identified exceptional leaders who will create lasting value and inspire others to do the same.
Purpose
Richmond Global was established by Peter Kellner nearly three decades ago to partner with entrepreneurs building transformative technologies. In the United States, we work with early and growth-stage companies exploring global opportunities. In emerging markets, we've built relationships with entrepreneurs, operators, and investors over many years. This geographic diversity helps us discover innovative companies while seeking consistent returns across market cycles. We benefit from connections through Endeavor Global, the economic development organization co-founded by Kellner, which supports entrepreneurs across forty-five countries.
