Founder and Managing Partner
Chad Peets
Chad made his name building the sales team at BladeLogic alongside legendary CRO John McMahon — the organization that drove 100%+ year-over-year growth, took the company public, and led to its $872 million acquisition by BMC Software. That experience became the blueprint Chad would replicate across 25+ years of building world-class GTM organizations.
As Managing Director at Sutter Hill Ventures, Chad was instrumental in scaling Snowflake's revenue team — personally helping CRO Chris Degnan recruit over 500 people. He has placed more than 7,500 software sales executives throughout his career, from SDRs to CROs, working alongside the industry's best CEOs. He founded RPT Capital Partners to combine investing with hands-on GTM operational support.
