Rothenberg Ventures

Rothenberg Ventures invests in early-stage Frontier Technology startups.

Rothenberg Ventures believes 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 Rothenberg Ventures launched the River Accelerator program, the world's first accelerator dedicated to virtual and augmented reality startups, which now includes all frontier technology categories. The River Accelerator today is operated by the consulting company River Ecosystem LLC (founded September 2016), with the 4th River Accelerator program starting November 2017. The pre-session in the River Lounge begins September 2017. 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. Rothenberg Ventures portfolio startups include Robinhood, Gusto, SpaceX, AngelList, Planet Labs, AltspaceVR, Andela, Dronebase, FOVE, Luxe, Matterport, and Revel Systems. Rothenberg Ventures was founded by Mike Rothenberg in 2012.
