RevUp Capital

Let’s be honest—fundraising isn’t fun. The wrong investors can derail your vision, but the right ones? They fuel your growth in all the best ways. RevUp Capital gets it. Huge thanks to Melissa Withers, Allan Tear, and Micaela Kamp for bringing together an incredible community at the RevUp In Real Life meetup in Boston.?? Surrounded by 100+ incredible humans - portfolio companies, LPs, and fund allies - Denielle Finkelstein and I felt the power of a network that truly supports founders. These are the rooms we belong in. These are the people who get it. No matter the industry—tech, product, or service—we all face the same challenges. The difference is who’s in your corner. ?? The best investors aren’t just writing checks. They are mentors, advisors, truth tellers (even when it’s tough), and your biggest champions when you win. Grateful to be building alongside this unstoppable community. ?? UNICORN in every stall #fundraising #startups #revupcapital #entrepreneurship #innovation #founders #angels #boston

Magic 8 Ball with Melissa and Micaela is a wrap. Over 6 episodes we riffed on inflation, authenticity in the age of AI, founder mental health, and the perils of getting twisted up by a bad capital strategy. Casual stuff. Ultimately, the Magic 8 Ball is already proving to be about as accurate as we are at predicting the future. But *really*, the best magic is in asking a question, not answering it. Micaela Kamp rides shotgun on many things I encounter as an investor, and she walks the paths--easy and hard--that our founders traverse. It was an honor to cohost this third season of (Un)Founded with her. Check out all 6 episodes here. https://lnkd.in/efrPX3f6

Halfway through the alphabet of #WomenLeaders, and the first “M” in #Boston that comes to mind is Mayor Michelle Wu, especially after her powerful testimony this month before the House Oversight Committee. It seems like a million years ago, but this throwback ?? of a breakfast meeting with her sharing her vision for the city was taken just a month before being elected. Lately, I've run into other local M's including Maia Heymann, Marie Meslin, May Borras, Meera Rao Oliva, Meeta Kapadia, Megan Gleeson, Megan Hall, Meghan Verena Joyce, Melia Russell, Melinda Smith, Melissa Withers, Meredith Rosenberg, Melanie Seaborn, Michele Reynolds, Millie Liu, and many others bit.ly/whm-25m. Beyond Boston, lucky to be working with Molly Busch each day (you may live 3k miles away, but you're always home here), riffing with Mack McKelvey again, and waiting for the next Meredith Oppenheim run-in outside my office near South Station. ?

Episode 6 of Magic 8 Ball pokes at how / if authenticity matters in the age of AI. For earlier stage founders, the emergence of AI everywhere is driving a surge in demand for authenticity that COSTS real money. In this episode, Micaela Kamp and I are on a journey–or maybe a rant–on how to unpack this dynamic https://lnkd.in/gMWyQSYV

Founder mug shot! There were many amazing moments last week when we gathered in Boston for RevUp Capital in Real Life...But having a few quiet moments with our founders before the show was epic. Thanks to everyone for coming and being part of a terrific evening that was fun, affirming AND a total recharge for me. It's one thing to do what you love. It's another to do it with people you love. To have both is something for which I am eternally grateful.

I was nervous when Keith Cline said he wanted to "start at the beginning." But good storytellers--like Keith--know the interesting bits aren't always the deets you flex on your LinkedIn profile. We took a romp through four decades...from my latchkey kid feral days to boxing center ring in Atlantic City, it *really* does all fit into my investment thesis ???? ?? https://lnkd.in/dzJUqpg4
