RevFund is an impact-first seed fund raising $5 million to invest in for-profit, scalable social enterprises with potential for global impact.
We use a combination of traditional capital and venture philanthropy to invest in for-profit, early-stage startups with a double bottom line for purpose and profit.
RevFund is committed to supporting missions for social good, whether you are an impact-first company looking for a partner to support you with more than just investment capital, or an investor who wants to make a difference.
We are backed by the track record of RevHubOC, an incubator for sustainable and scalable for-profit businesses and a leader in impact ecosystem building. Get in touch today to let us know how RevFund can support your mission.

Investment Process
As an impact fund, RevHub is committed to diligently measuring and reporting the impact across our portfolio. This isn't just to make informed funding decisions and meet investor expectations, but to ensure our objectives are backed by hard data. Recognizing that early-stage ventures might lack immediate impact data, we advise them to adopt impact models. These models, akin to financial ones, can start with estimates and refine over time. By integrating impact modeling, companies not only fortify fundraising and sales but also uphold brand integrity. We've collaborated with ImpactableX, a platform tailor-made for startups. With ImpactableX, companies can develop their impact models, align metrics with global standards, and gain profound AI-powered insights. These insights empower us to achieve both substantial financial returns and tangible impact value.
Why Impact Matters and How It Can Drive Growth
Innovations that avert detrimental outcomes or propel positive ones, especially for marginalized groups or resources, inherently have tremendous value. However, revenue might only represent a fragment of this value, often overlooking the broader benefits for the community. By holistically accounting for outcomes and incorporating impact into financial analysis, we make better investment choices. Impact modeling isnβt just a measurement tool; it's a growth strategy. Proper metrics can enhance sales, foster enduring partnerships, and distinguish your brand. Whether it's showcasing potential impact for fundraising, leveraging impact data for sales, ensuring brand credibility, or streamlining operations, ImpactableX can be a crucial ally. As part of our collaboration, companies are expected to keep their reporting consistent and can opt to use ImpactableX for a seamless experience.
