The next generation of entrepreneurs 🌱
Last week, GTM Lead Quentin Le Gall and Annette (HX24) cofounder Gwen Le Calvez welcomed EDHEC Business School entrepreneurship students to explore how startup studios support company building.
They shared how Hexa collaborates with founders, the milestones startups achieve with us, and why the startup studio model can make a difference for entrepreneurs.
Whether they choose to launch their own ventures one day, support founders behind the scenes, or pursue other paths, we hope the session offered a glimpse into the unique role startup studios play in bringing ideas to life.
It was a pleasure meeting future leaders who will shape the entrepreneurial landscape 🤗
In 2023, Rev1 surpassed $5B in all-time total economic impact by helping entrepreneurs build great companies. Check out our Startup Impact Report for 2023 to learn more!
We are excited to share our annual Startup Impact Report and the accomplishments of the startups and partners driving innovation and shaping the future of entrepreneurship.
As we entered 2024, we took time to reflect on the companies we have supported over the last 10 years. They have surpassed $5B in total economic impact in Ohio, $3B in our region alone.
That significant milestone reminded us of the power of a strong network, especially for startups striving to make their mark, and we were able to see hope, resilience and opportunity not just for early entrepreneurs but for all innovators.
Let’s dive into the heart of Columbus’ dynamic startup community, and celebrate the wins of 2023.

Successful startups are built through collaboration between founders, mentors and investors. Big thanks to New York Angels for rounding the leading angel groups in the nation and starting this initiative to accelerate growth and innovation. #AngelInvesting#Entrepreneurship
The Band of Angels collaborated with 10 other angel groups around the nation for a special preview look at Plug & Play’s Fall 2024 cohort of 10 hand-selected startups, a week prior to the public demo day in Sunnyvale, CA. Hosted by the New York Angels, real time voting helped select startups for further diligence and potential inclusion into each group’s regular deal flow. Great way to help each angel group increase quality deal flow and continue to build collaboration between the leading angel groups. #AngelInvesting#Entrepreneurship
Looking back, it's always difficult to choose the one thing I'm most proud of in our work at Rev1 Ventures.

When I first laid eyes on my startup's concept, it felt like witnessing my child take their first steps—steady, but unpredictable. Navigating the go-to-market roadmap is starting to feel less like a challenge and more like an adventure. It's about crafting our journey so that it resonates with audiences, fueled by our relentless pursuit of revenue growth. Today, I'm reminded that building a strong personal brand is the backbone of my entrepreneurial spirit—a beacon guiding not just me, but also our startup community. Here's to sowing seeds of entrepreneurship that will grow into forests of innovation and opportunity. #Entrepreneurship#GrowthMindset#StartupLife------------------------------

Success is not final, failure is not fatal: It is the courage to continue that counts.
Embarking on the entrepreneurial journey is often a rollercoaster ride filled with triumphs and setbacks.
But failure is a part of the journey.
When I embarked on my first startup journey, it didn't go as planned.
However, I learned some key lessons that helped me shape my next venture.
Here are the key takeaways from my failed startup journey to help you on your own entrepreneurial journey.

To me Entrepreneurship is like playing chess
Strategy: Just like in chess, where every move must be part of a broader plan, entrepreneurship requires strategic thinking. Entrepreneurs must anticipate market trends, competition, and customer needs, constantly planning several moves ahead.
Patience and Timing: In both chess and business, success isn’t immediate. Entrepreneurs need patience, making calculated decisions over time. Knowing when to act and when to hold back is key.
Entrepreneurship is like playing monopoly. Except there is no board to guide you on where to land. No dice to take you forward, and we don't start with the same startup capital. But you do feel like you are going around in a circle for many years.
✨ 1 Year of Entrepreneurship: From Zero to Four Startups! ✨
Today marks a special milestone—one year since I embarked on my entrepreneurial journey, starting with nothing but a dream and a lot of determination. What began as a solo venture has now grown into a team of dedicated professionals, and together, we’ve built 4 startups from the ground up.
The past year has been a rollercoaster of challenges, learning, and immense growth, but every step has been worth it. I’m incredibly grateful for the support of my amazing team, mentors, and everyone who believed in the vision.
This is just the beginning, and I can’t wait to see where the next year takes us!
To all fellow entrepreneurs out there—keep pushing, keep believing, and remember: Success starts with a single step.
