We view the power of a deep, engaged community of like-minded builders as our key differentiator, and work relentlessly to keep strengthening that unique fabric.
Everyone at Irregular Expressions is, first and foremost, an entrepreneur and a doer. We’ve slowly curated a group of technology executives and leaders, whose day job is to hire, grow and manage some of the most prominent engineering and product teams in the industry.
We’re moved by a shared drive to back outstanding founders, bringing cumulative decades of hard-earned engineering and product lessons to bear, both in reaching investment decisions, swiftly and with high conviction, and in working alongside founders to scale their companies, business, teams, and processes.
Vlad Rachev is a Principal at Irregular Expressions, joining from MongoDB where he was an engineer working on developer tooling. Vlad's broad curiosity and passion for developer infrastructure lead him to IrregEx, where he leverages his experience as both builder and user to find and partner with the best developer picks-and-shovels companies.
Irregular Expressions was founded by Jean Sini, former CTO at Cadre, Fountain, One Kings Lane, Mint, and General Partner at venture firm Partech. Jean launched IrregEx based on repeated and consistent interest from founders in enrolling the help of seasoned nerds early in their company’s journey.
