The
Process

1. Apply to Pitch

Apply to pitch at one of our upcoming investor events using the links above. A number of our events are industry themed, so be sure the upcoming opportunity aligns with your startups industry.

2. Pitch Academy

Startups selected to pitch are invited to the RVC Pitch Academy, a half day workshop with RVC Staff and Mentors to help refine your investor pitch. Every investor is different, and this where we share what RVC investors are after!

3. Investor Forum

It's showtime! RVC Investor Forums showcase 3-5 investment opportunities. Each presenter will have time for a 5 minute pitch and 10 minutes of Q&A. After the pitches, investor meet to privately discuss each opportunity presented.

4. Deep Dive

Opportunities with a significant number of interested investors will move forward into a Deep Dive, a 90 minute meeting between investors and startup founders. At the close of this meeting, investors will submit their soft circle investment.

5. Due Diligence

With a clear path to investment, RVC will request a data room and assemble a due diligence team. RVC will lead investment rounds, negotiate term sheets, and syndicate nationwide through the Angel Capital Association.

6. Funding

At the close of diligence, RVC will form a special purpose vehicle (SPV) and begin accepting funds from investors. In order to close an investment, we require a minimum investment of $100k from the SPV. RVC's initial investment will range from $100k-$500k, with additional capital invested in subsequent rounds.
