    FOR the third year in a row, Redpoint Ventures leads Los Angeles County venture capital firms with $2 billion under management.

    Redpoint's second, most recent fund, Redpoint II, opened in October October: see month.  2000 and accounted for all of the firm's new investments last year, according to founding partner Brad Jones This article is about the racing driver. For the football goalkeeper, see Bradley Jones.

    Bradley Jones also known as Brad (born 2 April 1960) is an Australian racing driver formerly competing in the V8 Supercars.
    . Much of Redpoint's 2001 investing was in follow-up rounds, he said, including $6 million of a total $16 million third-round funding for Sabeus Photonics Inc. of Chatsworth Chatsworth, estate, Derbyshire, central England, near Chesterfield. It is the seat of the dukes of Devonshire. Begun in 1552, the present Classical-style Chatsworth House was rebuilt in 1686. .

    Between the two funds, Santa Monica-based Redpoint invested $143.9 million in 2001. Of that total, Jones estimated that $75 million went to companies Redpoint had not previously invested in. Redpoint II made 19 investments in 14 companies.

    The $75 million is a decrease in activity from 2000. Jones said he expects investment to increase this year to around $100 million.

    Jones said wireless technologies and component and software companies would attract the most funding from Redpoint and other venture capital companies this year. "I think the climate's quite healthy," he said, expressing optimism Optimism
