Overview
Ridge Ventures is the new name for IDG Ventures USA. The name is inspired by the daring journeys we share with the founding teams we back and reflects our long-term independent status. Founded in 2007, Ridge evolved out of a single-LP fund started by the media company IDG. The new name contains an homage to our roots.
