OVERVIEW
Revolution Ventures focuses on early stage venture capital investments in technology-enabled businesses that empower consumers and disrupt existing, multi-billion dollar industries where we have confidence in the entrepreneur, are excited by the product or service concept, and believe there is an attractive investment opportunity.
We enjoy the opportunity to build from the beginning a true partnership with the founders and management teams of our companies, so that we can have maximum impact on their paths to success. This involvement can take many forms beyond just injecting capital; we work closely with companies to hone their business models, implement scale through business partnerships, develop infrastructure, broaden hiring choices, and share our experiences in developing world-class brands.
TeaM
Tige Savage leads Revolution Ventures as President. A co-founder of Revolution LLC, Tige was recently named one of Washington D.C.’s 100 "Tech Titans." Also involved in this effort is David Hall, Vice President of Investments. They are both very engaged in strategic direction of the companies in which they invest.
Strategy
Revolution Ventures makes initial early-stage venture capital investments in companies, often in partnership with other top-tier investors, in amounts of less than $10 million. We typically lead early rounds of financing but will also follow other top-tier investors in companies we love with investment partners we trust and respect. We are often involved as a Board member with a focus on strategy and developing a competitive position in the marketplace and are known for being active with the companies on whose boards we sit.
Approach
We look for business concepts that match our experience and interests. These tend to be big disruptive ideas that attack areas of the consumer space that are ripe for reinvention and have the potential to rapidly scale to market leaders. Businesses we would engage in could come from the consumer tech sector, media, entertainment, or other mass-market opportunities that offer a unique approach to tackling a staid category and grow into a significant consumer business.
