Hey There,

My guest today on The Consumer VC is Tige Savage, Co-Founder and Managing Partner of Revolution Ventures.

Revolution a venture capital fund based in Washington, D.C. Revolution Ventures focuses on early-stage venture capital investments in technology-enabled businesses that disrupt existing, multi-billion dollar industries.

Some of their investments include Runkeeper, Homesnap, Framebridge, and LivingSocial.

This episode was extra special for me as Tige is the first investor I’ve had on the show who is based in Washington D.C., my hometown.

We discuss:

  • How to invest in regulated industries

  • Why Tige purposefully invests in companies outside of Silicon Valley

  • The verticals different cities around the country are known for

  • His biggest takeaways from COVID

  • How he thinks about price and ownership

I hope you enjoy!
