Logan Bartlett

Background

Logan Bartlett is a Managing Director at Redpoint Ventures, where he leads growth-stage investing through the Redpoint Omega fund ¹². He joined Redpoint in 2020 after six years at Battery Ventures, where he focused on enterprise software investments ¹². Prior to Battery, Bartlett worked in investment banking at Spurrier Capital Partners, a boutique merchant bank focused on the technology sector, and as an investment banking analyst at Deutsche Bank focusing on financial technology ²³.

Bartlett holds a B.S. from Washington and Lee University, where he played men’s varsity lacrosse ¹. In 2017, he was named to the Forbes 30 Under 30 list, and he has also appeared on the Forbes Midas Brink list ¹².

Bartlett is based in New York and focuses the majority of his time on enterprise software investing at both the application and infrastructure level, partnering with companies mostly at the Series B and Series C stage ¹. He hosts The Logan Bartlett Show, a podcast launched in February 2022 featuring in-depth conversations with founders, operators, and investors about startup growth, market cycles, and venture capital strategies ¹⁴.

Stated Thesis

Bartlett focuses on enterprise software at both the application and infrastructure level, primarily at the growth stage (Series B and C) ¹. He has described his approach to evaluating high-growth companies: “The 0.01% of these [very high-quality, fast-growing] companies are almost in the ‘I-can-name-the-price-I-want’ mode, and they’ll often get it in the private markets (within reason) if the growth and efficiency are there” ⁵.

On market discipline, Bartlett has stated: “While the amount of capital in the system is so high, it’s discerning in nature, and some of these rounds that were done based on forward multiples last year are going to be hard to clear if growth expectations aren’t met or customer demand tapers off” ⁵.

Bartlett has built a notable content-driven platform through his podcast and Redpoint’s broader content initiatives, including the InfraRed 100 list for cloud infrastructure companies and the AI64 list highlighting emerging enterprise AI applications ⁶⁷. These franchises serve both as thought leadership and as deal-sourcing mechanisms for identifying companies in his areas of focus.

Inferred Thesis

Based on 17 verified investments across Battery Ventures and Redpoint, the following patterns emerge.

Sector distribution (17 verified investments): - Enterprise SaaS/applications: 7 of 17 (41%) — Workato, FloQast, Crossbeam, AcuityMD, Kustomer, Pendo, Leya - Data/infrastructure: 5 of 17 (29%) — Cribl, Monte Carlo, Materialize, LogRocket, Mattermost - Fintech: 1 of 17 (6%) — Ramp - Cybersecurity: 1 of 17 (6%) — Cyera - Analytics/data science: 2 of 17 (12%) — Amplitude, Dataiku - Other: 1 of 17 (6%) — Legora

Stage distribution: Bartlett invests primarily at Series B and Series C ¹. His investment range spans $100K to $50M with a target of $25M ⁸. This is notably later-stage than most investors profiled, reflecting his role leading Redpoint’s growth fund.

Geographic focus: Bartlett is based in New York but invests in companies across the US ¹.

Career pattern: Several companies followed Bartlett from Battery to Redpoint, most notably Workato, where he first invested in June 2018 at Battery and continued the relationship at Redpoint ²³.

Co-investor patterns: At Redpoint, Bartlett works within the growth team alongside Jacob Effron, Elliot Geidt, and Scott Raney ⁹.

Notable pattern: Bartlett’s portfolio is tightly concentrated in B2B enterprise software — only one consumer-oriented company (Ramp, which also serves businesses). This is one of the most sector-focused portfolios among growth investors. His podcast and content platform (The Logan Bartlett Show, InfraRed 100, AI64) function as deal-sourcing channels that also reinforce his enterprise software brand ⁴⁶.

Board roles: Bartlett serves as Board Member at Cyera, FloQast, AcuityMD, Leya, and Crossbeam, and as Board Observer at FloQast ³¹⁰.
