History 2010 Purchased Packard Place in Uptown Charlotte creating one of the country's first entrepreneurship center and campus. 2012 RevTech Labs launched out of Packard Place in 2012 with a focus on accelerating general tech entrepreneurship in the city of Charlotte. 2015 By 2015, we pivoted to Queen City Fintech with a singular focus on the fintech industry. With the rapid success of this pivot, we exclusively used the QCFintech brand to talk about our work. 2019 In 2019 we were hired by IBM to launch and run their global Hyperprotect Accelerator program targeting global fintech and healthtech startups. That launch coincided with the launch of our RevTech Labs Healthtech program which produced the first ever Healthtech Summit and Healthtech Demo Day in Charlotte in November 2019. Also in 2019, we launched RTL Insurtech to increase our emphasis and focus on the insurance innovation space. While we have always considered insurtech part of our QCFintech world, this allows us to do a more focused call for applications and has allowed us to bring on new mentors and partners from some of the world's leading insurers. With the launch of these new programs and our venture into new verticals came the need to pivot back to RevTech Labs as the umbrella brand recognizing all our work across verticals, and reflecting our work from early stage to growth stage. RevTech Labs also encompasses our events arm which includes our annual marquee events: Fintech Generations, Health Innovation Summit Venture 135 and Charlotte Startup Awards.
