RevRoad Capital Successfully Raised $61 Million in First Funding Round

By: GWL Team | Tuesday, 14 November 2023

RevRoad Capital (RRC) closed its first fund at $61 million, according to Pitchbook, making it the fourth-largest debut in the mountain region and the largest early-stage venture fund debut in Utah history.

Under the direction of Executive Managing Director David Mann and Managing Directors Rachelle Morris, Scott Peterson, and Bart Skalla, this company closed its first fund in the most challenging fundraising environment. Out of all the first early-stage venture funds launched in the United States in 2022, RevRoad Capital closed the largest fund between the Coasts, with 30% of its LPs being female investors.

According to David Mann, RevRoad Capital was founded in 2022 to assist startups that are driven by innovation and accelerate the growth of their founders. The company is a ‘venture services’ sister company. Its established track record and funding, along with the developed entrepreneurial ecosystem of RevRoad, close a gap in contemporary venture capital business models. Attracting dynamic founders and investing in next-generation global companies like Hypercraft, Particl, Kinectify, Halosight, and Sierra Innovations, the inaugural fundraiser demonstrates the combined strengths.

With the goal of accelerating business model scaling, Provo, Utah-based RevRoad Capital invests in innovative US founders and teams in developing industries like manufacturing, artificial intelligence, and electric vehicles.

Venture service company RevRoad has raised $15 million from individual investors to fund new businesses. In exchange for equity, the company provides marketing, financing, and other services. It also organizes meetups and pitch competitions. In order to help entrepreneurs reach important milestones, the investment will help RevRoad expand its operations to Orlando, Florida.

According to Rachelle Morris, Utah is regarded as one of the top states in the country for female entrepreneurs, and it has been amazing for the business to have so many successful women provide financial support while raising capital. When you look at the company's growth in the RevRoad Capital story, it is impossible to tell men from women. "We are all working together," she said.

In October 2023, the seed-stage fund RevRoad Capital closed its first $61 million fund. The fund seeks to take advantage of Utah's well-known collaborative culture and expanding startup community. Utah has won numerous accolades and recognitions, including "Best State to Start a Business" by Wallet Hub in 2023, "Nation's Best Economy" & "No. 1 Overall" by U.S. News & World Report in 2023. This success in innovation and job creation can be attributed in large part to the state's collaborative culture.
