Led by Steve Case, Donn Davis and Ted Leonsis, Revolution Growth III will invest capital in businesses outside of Silicon Valley that are leveraging technology and new models to disrupt existing, multi-billion dollar industries including healthcare, education, transportation, energy, financial services, food and government services.
