We are RevTech Ventures.
From The Managing Director
[Ethos]
As a young entrepreneur in my early thirties, the company I co-founded was growing by triple digits annually and I needed help – experience, not advice. So I joined the Dallas chapter of Entrepreneurs Organization (EO) and began a twenty-year journey of sharing experience with some world-class entrepreneurial peers.
EO is a global organization with over 14,000 members spread over 62 countries. One of the first things an entrepreneur learns after joining EO is “Gestalt Language Protocol,” which basically boils down to the following: “share experience, not advice.” Advice is cheap, sometimes free, and often conflicting. I learned the value of sharing relevant experience – learning how a fellow entrepreneur had faced a similar challenge to mine, how they handled it, and the resulting outcome. Then, I was able to use that experience as data while forming the solution to my challenge.
During my first five years in EO, my business grew ten-fold; during the next fifteen years, I gave back to the organization by launching an EO chapter in my hometown of Oklahoma City. What’s now RevTech Ventures was formed by a few of those members, who became some of our first mentors.
At RevTech, we believe in the sharing of relevant experience over the doling out of advice. That’s why our network of mentors and investors is carefully selected for the wealth of experience they bring to the table.
As a Venture Capital Firm in Dallas, our mentors have over 1,000 years of cumulative experience as former founders and F500 C-Suite executives in the retail industry. In retail technology, we have generated numerous successful exits, and therefore have high-level connections to some of the nation’s largest restaurant & retail operators.
At RevTech, we believe in the sharing of relevant experience over the doling out of advice.
To put this into practice, we built a network of mentors, executives, and sponsors, carefully selected for the wealth of experience they bring to the table.
