Andrea Funsten
Partner, US
Andrea is a Partner at RTP Global where her focus is on early stage investments in B2B SaaS and infrastructure across Fintech, DevOps, Logistics and Supply Chain. She looks at any software that solves problems through the use of data, automation, and AI/ML, favoring highly technical teams who need help crafting their early go-to-market and sales strategy. Since joining in 2023, her investments include SDF, SalesRevv, Bytewax and Shakudo.
Previously, Andrea was a Managing Partner at Basecamp Fund where she built out a portfolio of over 40 companies such as Railway, Flatfile, Cube, CompScience and FleetOps. She also served on the investment team at Expa, a venture studio that incubates new companies (Current, Metabase, Cmd, Eco, Kit) and led direct investments.
Andrea’s path into venture capital is deeply rooted in her hands-on experience as a founder and early-stage operator. At VTS, a pioneering vertical SaaS for commercial real estate, she led GTM strategy, Sales, and new market expansion. She later launched Loop, a group-buying platform that evolved into a crucial communications and maintenance system of record for buildings, empowering tenants to connect directly with local businesses.
She holds a B.A. from the University of Pennsylvania in Philosophy, Politics, and Economics and spent a semester at Universidad de Buenos Aires, studying Political Science during a watershed election year. A Los Angeles native and daughter of a Latin American immigrant, Andrea has a penchant for warm weather, is an avid chess player, and will cross state lines to catch a good comedy show.
