The Organization
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 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. For now, we are focused on four business lines - places, money, living, and health - as we believe each represents a multi-billion dollar opportunity. See revolution.com for more information.
