RevFund

RevFund operates as an impact-first seed fund, investing in and supporting scalable social enterprises. It provides capital and strategic guidance to for-profit ventures, primarily in California, that generate both financial returns and measurable social or environmental impact. The fund identifies businesses with sustainable models that effectively address pressing societal challenges, fostering growth in companies committed to change.

RevFund emerged from the broader RevHub OC initiative, founded in 2019 by Stephan Erkelens, who envisioned leveraging entrepreneurial innovation for social good. Erkelens, experienced in scaling businesses and non-profits, established RevHub to foster a vibrant social entrepreneurship ecosystem. Founding Partners Glenn Parrish and Peter Nelson developed RevFund's capital strategy, driven by the insight that blended for-profit and non-profit models achieve lasting societal change.

The fund's clients are social entrepreneurs and their impact-driven enterprises seeking early-stage capital and mentorship. RevFund’s long-term vision is to cultivate a robust network of social businesses contributing to community resilience and sustainable development. It aims to empower these ventures to scale solutions, creating significant and positive societal shifts through impact investing.
