We are an active venture capital group with a current emphasis on pre-seed, seed, and series A startups. We’re flexible and on occasion, have also invested in late stage and cross over rounds. While Arc is geographically agnostic, to date most of our investments have been based in Israel, Europe and the US (outside of Silicon Valley). Many of our portfolio companies have benefitted from our assistance on strategy, tactics, business development, and even distressed situations.

The fund partners have been friends for 10+ years and back in the day started what over years has grown to one of the largest tech founder communities in Eastern Europe. Today our wider community comprises over 350 active founders from around the world, including founders of the fast-growing & established tech unicorns (like Hopin, Miro, UiPath, Intercom, and others), as well as founders of several renowned global VC funds. In 2010, when we were making our first steps as entrepreneurs and future executives, we yearned for ways of sharing knowledge and supporting each other. Three of us settled in a big apartment on Shmitovsky 16 (S16) and opened our doors for regular meetings with like-minded entrepreneurs. That move turned out to be instrumental. We learned through each other, motivated and supported each other, and built lifelong friendships. Our small gatherings grew into a tribe of hundreds of like-minded people. We are certain that this community is the common denominator behind our success. Even though the majority of tribe members are very successful entrepreneurs and executives, the community is united by shared values rather than any kind of material KPIs. These values are: Community, not individual Trust Transparency Intrinsic motivation to help Pay forward Beginner mindset People succeed, not ideas The community has long outgrown its founders and small gatherings at Shmit 16 and evolved into many initiatives driven by different people. Twice a year we help organize the legendary closed business event - Founders for Founders. Our members organize a camp at Burning Man. We try our best to spread our knowledge to a wider audience through our Telegram channel. Whatever we do, s16vc stands for preservation and adherence to our values. And s16vc, being the only commercial endeavor, is no exception. We invest in people who share these values and take money from like-minded LPs, making our tribe stronger with every founder we back and every investor we bring inside the community.

Rise of the Rest is building a top-tier early-stage venture capital fund, investing in entrepreneurs across the United States, in order to deliver top returns for our investors and give more founders, in more communities, the opportunity to build world-changing companies that solve real-world problems. We are generalist investors who commit capital across a broad cross-section of industries into startups based outside of Silicon Valley, New York City, and Boston. Rise of the Rest is a distinct fund at Revolution, the firm founded by former AOL co-founder and CEO, Steve Case. Rise of the Rest currently has $300M under management and is actively investing out of its second $150M fund. APPROACH We recognize that some of the most compelling investment opportunities in the next decade will likely emerge from startups in cities all across the United States. The Rise of the Rest® Seed Fund invests in passionate entrepreneurs that are based outside of Silicon Valley, Boston, and New York City. We work closely with trusted members of our network to source and vet the best seed stage opportunities in cities across the country. That’s why we visit multiple cities a year through our Rise of the Rest® Road Trips, and gather key stakeholders from past tour cities at least once a year during the Rise of the Rest® Summit. TOUR Revolution’s Rise of the Rest® Road Trip with Steve Case is a nationwide effort to work closely with entrepreneurs in emerging startup ecosystems. This is the beginning of a new era for entrepreneurship across the U.S. - high-growth companies can now start and scale anywhere, not just in a few coastal cities. On each bus tour, we visit five cities in five days and invest at least $500,000 in local startups through pitch competitions. Throughout the day we also visit the fastest growing local startups, hear directly from innovators, spend time learning from local policy and business leaders. OUR TEAM Steve Case leads the Rise of the Rest® Seed Fund, alongside Managing Partner David Hall, and Partner Anna Mason. The investment team’s backgrounds, coupled with the strength and depth of our network platform, uniquely enables us to assist portfolio companies with their market positioning, access to potential partners, and efforts to understand policies that can impact their business or industry.
