Case Study: Rise of the Rest strengthens portfolio support with Affinity

How Revolution’s Rise of the Rest Seed Fund leverages Affinity’s relationship intelligence

Rise of the Rest, the seed fund arm of Revolution, needed a scalable way to keep delivering world-class support to its 200+ portfolio companies as the portfolio grew. The team also wanted to better differentiate itself from other venture firms by strengthening its ability to track relationships, introductions, and post-investment support. Affinity’s relationship intelligence platform helped address this need.

By implementing Affinity, Rise of the Rest centralized notes and interactions with portfolio companies and prospective opportunities, while also improving how the team made introductions and surfaced network connections for founders. The result was more efficient operations, better-informed resource allocation, and stronger portfolio support across Revolution’s growing second $150 million fund.
