Description
RevTech Ventures is a Dallas, Texas–based early-stage venture capital firm that focuses on retail technology and related innovation — backing founders building technologies to transform retail, commerce, supply chain, and customer experience. They typically act as one of the first institutional investors at the pre-seed and seed stages, with the ability to follow into later rounds such as Series A and B when aligned with portfolio growth.
Pre-Seed / Seed: Core thesis; RevTech frequently leads or follows early institutional rounds in retail/consumer tech.
Series A & B: Participates in later rounds, typically not as lead.
Typical Initial Check Size: Approximately $100K average at pre-seed/seed, with follow-on reserves larger as companies grow.
Check Size Range: ~$100K–$250K (some sources list up to $500K or more depending on stage and follow-on).
Typical Ownership Taken: ~1%–5% equity at entry — inferred from typical seed VC norms given their check sizes and valuation expectations (early institutional minority stake).
Ownership Style: Minority, non-controlling stake aligned with first institutional capital.
Equity Structure: Standard early-stage terms (priced equity or SAFE convertible instruments).
Board/Governance: No automatic control; governance involvement varies with investment size and deal context.
Submission Method: Founders can engage via the RevTech Ventures website or through ecosystem and industry referrals; warm introductions help but are not strictly required.
Lead Requirement: RevTech can lead or co-invest, particularly at early stages.
Review Cadence: Rolling review based on deal flow and fit with retail tech thesis.
