About Us
Red Cell Partners is an incubation firm building and investing in rapidly scalable technology-led companies that are bringing revolutionary advancements to market in three distinct practice areas: healthcare, cyber, and national security. United by a shared sense of duty and deep belief in the power of innovation, Red Cell is developing powerful tools and solutions to address our Nation’s most pressing problems.
We incubate and invest in early-stage technology-led companies in the healthcare, cyber and national security sectors.
We are a team of entrepreneurs, technologists, operators, and investors who are using big data to address our Nation’s largest problems. We believe the time for disruption is now. Heavily regulated, highly concentrated, and saddled with perverse incentives, our national security, cyber, and healthcare systems are fundamentally challenged. Without imminent action, both industries face catastrophic outcomes.
