Why rev?

Pitching to VCs takes a chunk of time and loads of energy, and every rejection takes a little chip out of the soul, so as an entrepreneur, you’d better be pitching to the right investors!

As a startup founder, you have hundreds of other things to do, so we’ve structured rev to deliver fast and efficient insights to make the best use of two hours of your time.

What happens at rev?

rev is about more than finding alignment with a VC’s investment thesis; it’s about finding where your chemistry and personalities resonate. They’re here to help you discover the right investors efficiently.

• Each VC has five minutes to pitch, followed by 2-3 of your questions.

• Afterwards, immerse yourself in networking to leave a lasting impression – better still, make yourself unforgettable to the investors!
