Insik Rhee is a co-founder and General Partner at Vertex Ventures US, where he partners with very early-stage enterprise software founders to scale products and build executive teams. Prior to launching Vertex in 2015, he was a General Partner at Rembrandt Venture Partners and a Venture Partner at Accel Partners. His investment thesis focuses exclusively on early-stage enterprise software, artificial intelligence, data infrastructure, and developer tools, primarily at the Seed and Series A stages. Rhee typically leads Seed and Series A investments with check sizes ranging from $500,000 to $10 million, often acting as a lead investor rather than a follower. Notable portfolio companies where he serves on the board include Upsolver, Interana, Evisort, Cyberhaven, and Testlio. Drawing on his background as a serial entrepreneur who co-founded Kiva Software and Loudcloud, Rhee emphasizes hiring founders or executives who have previously built companies to IPO or M&A as coaches for new startups. He also contributes to founder education through Vertex’s “Breakfast@Vertex” seminars, which pair founders with domain experts for continuous learning.
