Redwood Collective, a venture capital fund headquartered in the United States, is preparing to launch its second fund after initiating fundraising discussions. The first fund, launched in 2022, marked the group’s shift from operating a family office under the Edgewood brand into managing external capital.

The interview opened with introductory remarks by Dinesh Sastry, Venture Partner of Redwood Collective. Excerpts:
