RevUp in Real Life: March 5 in Boston!
Thrilled to announce that the next installment of RevUp in Real Life will happen on March 5, 2025 in Boston. It’s truly a luxury to have our founders, investors, and friends together in real life, if only for a day!
When this “almost annual” event made its debut in 2019, we filled about 40 seats in a cozy Back Bay bistro. This year, we passed our 120 person limit in less than a week, a reflection of how much our portfolio and community have grown over the years.
A lot has happened since 2019. For starters, in 2019, I had to get a babysitter to stay out for this party. This year, my son will drive himself home after heckling me from the audience.
Despite a global pandemic, the emergence of AI, and all the other crazy shit that happened over the last few years, there’s something that didn’t change at all:
From day one, everything good with RevUp has been fueled by a network of incredible people. Amazing founders. Generous advisors. And, the BEST group of investors that we as fund managers could ask for.
I know every person on our guest list. Line by line, and for almost every attendee, I can list specific things they’ve done to help. Actions taken without hesitation. Work done without compensation. Favors called in without needing anything in return.
It certainly helps that RevUp founders are easy to love. They are warrior business builders who get up each day and put one foot in front of the other, in hopes of building something meaningful.
Who doesn’t want to see founders like that succeed?
That's the other thing that hasn't changed: Our founders really are the stars of the show—whether it was back in that bistro in 2019 or on stage in Boston next month. It’ll be an honor to have so many of them with us to share what they’ve been up to.
Huge thanks to Gunderson Dettmer for offering up their office in the Seaport—those sweeping views will be a perfect backdrop to hear from our founders and LPs, expand connections across the community, and take a sneak peek into all that lies ahead.
Now, let’s just hope Boston can spare some good weather, especially for our founders and friends coming from afar.
Can’t wait to see you on March 5!
