The Shrinking Half Life of Everything, at the Chatham Conference, October 7-8!
RevUp Managing Partner Melissa Withers will be at the Chatham Conference (formerly the Nantucket Conference), October 7–8, in Chatham, MA. While there on October 8th, Melissa will be riffing with Sung Park and Ben Pring on The Shrinking Half Life of Everything: What to Optimize for in the Age of AI - a topic we've written about before (catch our earlier take on it here).
It's an idea that's been sitting heavy with Melissa lately; the kind that's hard to distill into a tidy panel description. As an investor, operator, and human, here's what she knows: AI is shaping company building - and the investment industry underpinning it - at a scale never seen before. Companies and investors aren't evolving in lockstep, and once-linear patterns are transforming into K-shaped trajectories that raise deep questions about what happens when supposedly symbiotic models diverge.
It is exactly the kind of conversation the Chatham Conference is built for - one where those in the room can help shape the conversation as much as the panelists do. Each year, Chatham gathers a curated group of investors and innovators at Chatham Bars Inn on Cape Cod for unvarnished conversations and high-value connections. It’s an intimate, people-first environment where there's no real line between speakers and audience: everyone's both at once.
Since 2016, RevUp has used its pioneering, non-dilutive model to invest in strong operators building companies on the $1M–$10M growth curve. Our typical investment is $300–$400K, and we back teams with real traction, solid growth, and a clear path to profitability.

How We Invest
We built RevUp to invest into B2B and B2C companies ascending the 1M-10M growth curve. We know from experience—and from the stellar performance of our portfolio—that this curve can be conquered. But, having the right resources and support along the way is critical to success.
RevUp combines non-dilutive investment with hands-on support to help companies build stronger, more scalable infrastructure for growth. And, we do it using a non-dilutive model. Our goal? Give companies the best shot at success while preserving founder equity, optionality, and autonomy.

Our Model
We invest into B2B and B2C companies with revenue traction, a solid growth rate, and a strong team. Our companies are:
In market, selling, and ready to grow to $10-15M in revenue in the next few years.
Producing $500K - $3M in annual revenue.
On a path toward profitability. Burning isn't always bad, and there's nothing wrong with investing into growth. But getting your company to a place where you can hold your own is a good place to be.
Beyond this, we invest into companies with:
A strong leadership team with proven execution ability.
A product or service that the world wants and needs.
Diversity throughout. Since 2018, 70+% of RevUp investments have been into companies led by a woman or person of color.
Most importantly, we select for companies where we add unique and strategic value. If we don't, we aren't the right investor.
