About Redbud VC

Redbud VC is an early-stage venture capital fund investing monetary and social capital in early-stage tech founders across North America, the Midwest, and Missouri. Founded in 2021 by Willy & Jabbok Schlacks and Jai Malik to help founders who blaze through constraints create generational wealth. Redbud accelerates insights into building a successful company and helps founders focus on the hard stuff that matters. Our white-glove support is rooted in the experience of building companies on first principles. Willy and Jabbok Schlacks founded EquipmentShare in 2015, a top 25 Y-Combinator construction tech startup that has garnered billions in capital and revolutionized the construction industry. A world-class product manager, Willy has extended his product skillset to his intimate involvement with the founders supported by Redbud VC. Jabbok, on the other hand, is a sales and operations expert who has scaled EquipmentShare to new heights in revenue and growth.
