Rise of the Rest

For more than a decade, we’ve tracked how venture capital flows across the U.S. and how those flows influence where innovation takes hold. A central premise: local investors help spark and sustain startup ecosystems. So how is that dynamic showing up across the country? In our 2026 report we take a look: revolution.docsend.com/v/7hzj3/invest…

From #FayettevilleAR, @acres_company is building a geospatial data platform that turns fragmented land data into searchable intelligence. It's a great example of product-market-geo fit in the #AIeconomy—one @jessicakmathews covers in @FortuneMagazine.⤵️ fortune.com/2026/03/11/lan…

AI boom 🤝 Internet boom In our new interview series, Direct with @JohnDelaney, we sat down with @SteveCase, co-founder of AOL and Chairman & CEO of Revolution to talk all things business, policy, and what effect it has on our everyday lives.

The next housing transaction for millions of Americans won't start with a listing—it'll start with a loss. Our CEO and co-founder @codybarbo wrote about this in @HousingWire today, and the data behind it is hard to ignore: 🏡44% of future heirs expect real estate to be part of their inheritance. 🔑More than 70% will face an immediate decision about what to do with it. And yet, the friction that follows—title issues, missing documents, unexpected costs—is almost entirely preventable. The professionals already in the room at the moment of purchase have a real opportunity to change that. Most just haven't thought of it that way yet.

Hermeus has received a Special Airworthiness Certificate (Experimental Category) from the FAA for its unmanned Quarterhorse Mk 2.1 aircraft.   We’re grateful to the agency for their diligent work in reviewing the aircraft and look forward to a strong collaboration as we expand the Quarterhorse program.  Now we get back to doing what we do best: flying fast planes fast.

I’m honored to have been named to Inc. Magazine’s 2026 Female Founders 500 list. It’s my name on the list, but the recognition truly belongs to the entire Just Women's Sports team.

Hermeus Flies Second Supersonic Test Plane in Nine Months Maiden flight of company’s Quarterhorse Mk 2.1 follows testing of a smaller, less powerful model. vist.ly/4tkp5

This stretch of the year took us from policy corridors & U.S. history hubs to global tech stages & industrial markets in transition. See where we went, who we met, and what we saw on the ground this fall and winter. 🖊️ 🛣️ revolution.com/blog/dispatche…

Three vehicles, each one larger and more capable than the last. Mk 0 proved the design-build-test approach, Mk 1 flew, and Mk 2.1 expands the flight envelope even further. When we talk about iterative development, we actually mean it. We’ve already made three iterations in three years — and somehow our team moves even faster with each build.

E-commerce brands are surrounded by extremely valuable data but have lacked the technological capabilities to make timely and impactful decisions with that data. Our latest expansion of StordAI brings AI assistants directly into commerce operations with Chat, Search, and Feed, helping teams cut through complexity and move faster across the entire commerce lifecycle. As @ilyaf, partner at @kleinerperkins, shared in the piece: “What makes StordAI different is the depth of context it operates with, the pattern recognition that only comes from powering tens of millions of consumer deliveries across the Stord network. That’s what turns fragmented data into answers brands can actually act on, in real time. Chat, Search, and Feed aren’t just features. They’re how Stord is giving every brand the operational clarity to move faster, stock smarter, and deliver on the promises they make to their customers.” Thank you to @EdelsonSharon and @Forbes for the coverage. forbes.com/sites/sharoned…

ESPN got a lot of praise for their new “Women’s Sports Sunday” programming block. But was it actually a paradigm shift, or just another in a series of incremental "wins"? I wrote an op-ed for @Sportico explaining why women’s sports need more than a themed day.
