Biography

David Hall joined Revolution in 2006 and worked across both Revolution Growth and Revolution Ventures before taking on leadership of the Rise of the Rest Seed Fund, a $150 million vehicle built around one of the clearest geography-led theses in venture capital: back high-growth startups outside Silicon Valley, Boston, and New York, and use Revolution's platform and brand to strengthen local ecosystems. The fund made its first-ever investment in Anduril at seed, years before the company became a major defense-technology player, and AppHarvest became Rise of the Rest's first publicly traded portfolio company, though it is no longer independently traded today.
