Rothenberg Ventures is the top investment firm focused on exceptional early stage companies in frontier tech. We believe in the Founder’s Journey - the transformative process of turning vision into real world impact through daily execution and grit. Our team of investors, operators and community builders support founders through portfolio success programs across virtual reality, augmented reality, artificial intelligence, robotics, drones, space, next generation hardware, and IoT. In 2014 we launched River, the worlds first accelerator dedicated to virtual and augmented reality startups and in 2015 expanded River to all frontier technology categories. In a world where we spend all day looking at screens, we believe that the best way to build relationships is in person. We host quarterly landmark events, luminary speaker sessions, small group dinners, demo days, mentor meetings, community get-togethers and experiences to facilitate connections and knowledge-sharing throughout our community. Our portfolio companies include 1-Page, AltspaceVR, Andela, Dronebase, FOVE, Luxe, Matterport, Reaction Housing, Revel Systems, Robinhood and SOLS.
