Steve Case

I urge President Trump & VP-elect Vance to make reigniting entrepreneurship a priority in cities across America. This is an issue I know JD cares about from his #RiseOfRest work with us. Here are several policy priorities that could make a real difference: blog.revolution.com/the-innovation…

I have written my first book! A passion project of almost 10 years, Runnin' Down a Dream aims to give people both the motivation & the methods for thriving in a career they actually love. Put a lot of heart and soul into this - hope you ❤️ it. Pre-order: a.co/d/5APYleb

In December 2025, former US Senator @BenSasse announced that he had been diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer. That's the primary topic for this @UncKnowledge conversation about mortality, faith, and what truly matters when time is short. Talking to host @P_M_Robinson, Sasse reflects on "redeeming the time"—holding ambition lightly, loving family more deliberately, and resisting the urge to make politics or professional success the center of life. The discussion also covers Sasse's thoughts on the failures of Congress; the dangers of a fragmented, attention-starved republic; the crisis of higher education; and the moral challenges of technological abundance. He speaks candidly and movingly about regret, forgiveness, prayer, and suffering—arguing that while death is a real enemy, it does not get the final word. Watch the full conversation on X:

“In a world that’s increasingly digital, how do we build real community with real people and connect them to real places?” That question, posed on the Skift Global Forum 2025 stage by Steve Case, Chairman and CEO, Revolution (and AOL Founder), captures the heart of what travel means in this new era. As industries decentralize and opportunity spreads beyond traditional hubs like New York and Silicon Valley, travel becomes more than movement - it becomes connection. A way to bring people together, strengthen communities, and create shared experiences rooted in place. At Skift Global Forum 2026, we’ll gather the leaders shaping what comes next: a future where travel is a powerful force for belonging, collaboration, and real-world impact. Join us in September - and be part of the community building the future of travel: hubs.li/Q042P-n-0

Silicon Valley became what it is today, at least in part, because of dense local capital networks.   Today, more states are working toward building their own. Our latest @RiseOfRest report examines how frequently investors back homegrown startups and how that local foundation shapes where innovation takes hold. revolution.docsend.com/v/7hzj3/invest…

At the same time, hub gravity is real. California is the top deal destination for many states. Still, proximity shapes outcomes: in 18 states, venture deals flow first to home, and in most others, local markets remain among the most invested. revolution.docsend.com/v/7hzj3/invest…

Some states lean in harder. Kentucky, Michigan, Indiana, Utah, Missouri, Virginia, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania post higher shares of deals with in-state investor participation, keeping more capital cycling within their local ecosystems. revolution.docsend.com/v/7hzj3/invest…

Across the country, local investors are in the mix and backing homegrown companies early. Nearly 40% of startup deals in the average state included in-state investors in 2025. That backing often reflects local networks, industry ties, and relationships built close to home. revolution.docsend.com/v/7hzj3/invest…

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…

Tech cycles never repeat, but they definitely rhyme. I joined @mariogabriele at @thegeneralistco to talk about building AOL: what the pace felt like, what we got right (and wrong), and how some of those early-internet dynamics are echoing in AI today. generalist.com/p/steve-case

If there's one thing @SteveCase knows, it's the power of connectivity. 🌐🤝 More takes from this year's @dealbook lineup: #link-4c62b71" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">nytimes.com/2025/12/10/bus…

Encouraged to see Congress considering these issues. As I shared in my @FinancialCmte testimony, if we want America to lead in innovation, we need broader access to capital—enhanced IPO on-ramps, more investor pathways, and more support for emerging funds. blog.revolution.com/steve-case-tes…

Tomorrow AM: @SteveCase will join policymakers, economists, and business leaders at the inaugural American Growth Summit to map the forces reshaping the American economy and its competitiveness on the global stage. 🇺🇸 🌏 Check out Thursday's lineup: ags2025.splashthat.com/LI

Entrepreneurship isn’t a coastal phenomenon, it’s an American one. 📍 But the landscape may look different depending on where you stand. So we pulled a few snapshots on the state-by-state state of entrepreneurship in honor of #NationalEntrepreneursDay.* *And also because we love a good map.

Wisdom from @WarrenBuffett: “Looking back, I feel that both Berkshire and I did better because of our base in Omaha than if I had resided anywhere else. The center of the United States was a very good place to be born, to raise a family, and to build a business.” With @RiseofRest, I’ve seen that truth proven again and again, in Omaha and across the Heartland. berkshirehathaway.com/news/nov1025.p…

Terrific to join my friends @chefjoseandres and Norah O’Donnell at the Georgetown University Entrepreneurship Summit for a powerful conversation on building businesses with purpose.   True success isn’t just what you build – it’s who you uplift along the way. Always special to be back at @Georgetown, where it all began.  Hoya Saxa! 🚀
