Multiple funds for multiple stages

A boost at the beginning

Rev1 Capital is often the first investor at the pre-seed and seed stages, the hardest stages to raise capital. Filling this gap ensures that Columbus’ highest potential startups can pursue an upward growth trajectory.

 

High-growth industries

Rev1 invests in startups in industries with the greatest growth potential: Software, life sciences and advanced technologies. Columbus Region startups in these industries are more likely to raise the capital they need to grow their companies.

A strong co-investment network

Startups that grow into thriving companies rarely do so with the support of just one investor. Rev1 works alongside a growing network of more than 200 co-investment partners from across the Midwest and the US.
