In Revenue Capital

Company bio

There is a massive disconnect in the Venture Capital value proposition. It’s a known disconnect, and for capital allocators, an acceptable one. At the end of the day, VC’s are financiers. But Founders and Startups need more than Capital, they need expertise that drives results. We know this, because we are Founders. Operators. Go-to-Market experts. We’ve sat in the same seats building, growing and exiting businesses of our own while also consulting for thousands of the top mid-market and enterprise companies. We believe it’s unacceptable to see 92% of Founders as a write off. That’s why we created In Revenue. The first operator-immersive capital firm.
