Revitalize Venture Studio is a venture studio and seed fund focused on diversifying the tech industry by building breakout software startups that deliver economic impact and outsized returns. Founded in 2019 by serial entrepreneurs Clarence Wooten and Andre Forde, the studio specializes in creating, launching, and spinning out Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) and platform-based software startups led by diverse teams. The studio's mission is to change the complexion of tech by building successful ventures with Black founders and diverse teams while empowering underrepresented and underestimated communities. Revitalize operates with core beliefs that diversity starts at the top and from the outset, getting to product-market fit requires grit and tenacity, doing well while doing good is the future of business, diverse teams drive greater returns, and traction trumps everything. The studio is expert at product creation and achieving product-market fit, which they identify as the most challenging stage of the startup lifecycle. Revitalize seeks out diverse founders, domain experts, and occasionally corporate partners to gain insights into significant opportunities they can tackle together as co-founders, bringing experience, talent, capital, and a deep network of diverse operators and Silicon Valley veterans to each startup venture.
