Hear about billionaire AOL cofounder Steve Case’s investing approach: IGNITION 2018
For the past four years, AOL cofounder and entrepreneur Steve
Case has been focused on an investing approach and seed
fund he calls “Rise of the Rest,” which aims to finance
companies located outside the major startup hubs to show
Americans that startup culture shouldn’t be reserved for Silicon
Valley, New York City, and Boston.
Through his DC-based venture-capital firm Revolution, Case
launched a $150 million Rise of the Rest seed fund to help
emerging startup ecosystems scale.
Case has since led
seven Rise of the Rest bus tours with “Hillbilly Elegy”
author and former Valley investor JD Vance, who oversees the seed
fund. In each city, Case and his team visit new startups, meet
with local entrepreneurs and political leadership, and host a
pitch competition with a
$100,000 prize.
At IGNITION, Case will discuss entrepreneurship, highlights from
the Rise of the Rest tour, and his long-term vision for
Revolution.
Join Steve Case and many more entrepreneurs, investors, and
media and technology thought leaders at IGNITION 2018.
