We look for companies that are attacking large, traditional industries with innovative new products and services. Many existing industries are on the brink of disruptive change, driven by new technological possibilities and consumer psychographic trends. We aim to transform significant markets by leveraging technology and new approaches and in the process create massive value in our companies.
Passionate entrepreneurs are the driving force behind transformative change. We seek to partner with great entrepreneurs and management teams who share our desire to change the world and want our help as their hands-on partner in building their company. We have successfully led our own companies and bring our proven expertise in helping expand ideas from niche to mass and building companies from big to small.
We are business builders, not just investors. We get involved in "speed-up" situations where we believe our capital, time, and expertise can uniquely make a game-changing difference. Revolution brings our tremendous passion, relentless focus, renowned reputations, unparalleled contacts, and unwavering commitment to helping build companies. We believe in a "built to last" approach, preferring to invest with a longer-term horizon to maximize both impact and returns.
It takes talent and passion, not just capital, to build great companies. At Revolution, we have collaborated extensively with each company we invest in or acquire, developing an accelerated growth strategy, building a world-class management team, assembling boards of directors to extend the company's expertise and influence. Moreover, we forge strategic alliances, positioning each company as a revolutionary in its field, disrupting the normal way of doing business.
Success in new markets is won by those who rapidly build momentum and aggressively lead the field. Revolution focuses on building companies that can hasten “tipping points” and benefit from the change they help bring about. We take a long-term view when developing the companies in which we invest, looking closely at intersecting broad trends to ensure that our offerings will be of great value to consumers—and economically sustainable.
Revolution builds leading brands in each industry we target, achieving broad, mainstream appeal. We will embrace an existing brand on its way to market recognition, but sometimes we will use our own Revolution brand to jumpstart market acceptance.
