Read All About It: Our Values, Beliefs and Perspectives

We talk a lot about “what” we do. But the “why” is equally important. Aside from posts about how invest, the mechanics of our revenue-based model, or updates from our portfolio, we also like to talk our values, beliefs and perspectives on business building, investing, and the wild and wacky dynamic between founder and investor. This page is a catalogue of these posts.

More About RevUp Capital

RevUp Capital invests in B2B and B2C companies that are revenue-driven and ready to double down on growth. We deploy cash and capacity to help companies grow from $1-3M to $10-30M, quickly and efficiently, using a revenue-based model. Companies enter our portfolio with $500K-$3M in revenue, a strong growth rate, and a team that’s ready to scale. Our typical investment range is $300K-$500K.

We invest into a company's market-facing activity using a cash and capacity model. We pair our cash investment with dedicated support from the RevUp Growth Platform: a powerful resource to build a data-driven growth engine, delivered by people who get the work done. Rather than take equity, companies return investment through a small percentage of revenue over time. More at www.revupfund.com
