Android Co-Founder Andy Rubin Is Now A Partner At Redpoint Ventures

Back in October of 2014, Android co-founder Andy Rubin parted ways with Google after nine years with the company.

At the time of his departure, word trickled out that he was building a hardware-focused incubator — and sure enough, that incubator just disclosed that they’ve raised $48M this morning

Turns out, that’s not all he’s got on his plate: he’s also now a venture partner at Redpoint Ventures.

Prior to selling Android to Google in 2005, Andy was the co-founder of Danger — a company best known for creating the Sidekick/Hiptop.

Rubin confirmed the new role with a tweet this afternoon.
