The Company
Revolution builds businesses that can change the world. Founded by internet pioneer (and AOL co-founder) Steve Case, Revolution identifies emerging trends and partners with great entrepreneurs to build iconic "built to last" companies. We generally buy majority interests in small companies with big ideas. We are attracted to opportunities that have breakout potential, investing significant time and capital (and our own reputations) in ideas that have great potential. We look for companies that are focused on providing consumers with more choice, control and convenience, by leveraging innovations in technology and/or business models.
Initially, Revolution will focus on three domains: resorts, living and health. The Revolution approach, however, lends itself to many other sectors and over time Revolution will expand its focus, leveraging the Revolution brand name across many sectors as opportunities arise. For now, we are focused on resorts, living and health, as we believe each represents a multi-billion dollar opportunity. See www.revolution.com for more information.
