Revolution LLC

Revolution LLC, founded in 2005 by AOL co-founder Steve Case, operates on the conviction that 'innovation isn't confined to pre-selected pins on a map' and that 'great companies can start and scale anywhere.' The firm deploys capital across three venture funds—Rise of the Rest Seed Fund (seed-stage startups outside Silicon Valley, New York, and Boston), Revolution Ventures (early-stage technology companies disrupting significant markets), and Revolution Growth (growth-stage companies at the intersection of policy and technology)—with 99% of capital invested outside Silicon Valley. Revolution's overarching ethos, captured in the phrase 'talent is well distributed, opportunity is not,' drives it to back entrepreneurs in emerging U.S. startup cities and to champion policies that support them, while also investing in real estate and hospitality destinations that strengthen growing communities.
