Frequently asked questions
How does Revolution source deal flow outside traditional venture hubs?
Revolution runs the annual Rise of the Rest bus tour, a multi-city event visiting emerging startup ecosystems across the US. The tour generates proprietary pipeline and strengthens the firm's local network density in regions where institutional venture presence is sparse. Portfolio referrals and the firm's Washington, DC base further differentiate its sourcing from Sand Hill Road.
Who makes investment decisions at Revolution?
Steve Case serves as Chairman and CEO, setting the overarching thesis. Each fund has a dedicated managing partner: Donn Davis and Tige Savage lead Revolution Growth, David Hall manages the Rise of the Rest Seed Fund, and the Ventures team operates under the broader partnership group.
Which sectors does Revolution explicitly avoid?
Revolution does not publish an explicit exclusion list. Its disclosed portfolio concentrates on enterprise software, digital health, fintech, mobility, agri-foodtech, and energy transition companies. The firm avoids deep tech and hardware-heavy investments requiring intense regional cluster effects.
Does Revolution participate in fund commitments or only direct deals?
All three Revolution vehicles make direct equity investments into companies; the firm does not operate as a fund-of-funds or make GP commitments. The Rise of the Rest Seed Fund is itself structured to accept LP commitments from a broad syndicate, but Revolution deploys directly into portfolio companies.
