Investing, success, being humble, how to replicate his feats, how he is building himself to achieve all of his dreams, why he wants to focus on finding amazing companies, how he always gives feedback, founding his VC firm Upheaval Investments, and much more. I could literally go on for 3-4 more sentences about how great Riley is. I love that he has taken his first success, and then took the hard road of finding the meaning in his life, which is building amazing companies that change the world. A lot of people say this, but I think you will agree with me when I say Riley means it. Please send him an email if you have a startup question!

Upheaval Investments 

“Upheaval invests in ambitious founders and companies with transformative technologies that solve big problems,

make businesses more efficient,

and improve the way people live.

We focus on seed, early and growth stage companies with world-class entrepreneurs and help them source the capital, talent, and advisors they need to fuel their growth and avoid wrong turns.

We believe that brilliant companies and founders can come from anywhere. To that end, though we love experienced entrepreneurs with proven track records, we are not afraid of backing talent that may not have a traditional pedigree or appearance. When we invest a founding team, they get the passion and commitment of our team as we forge a long-term partnership. Our mission is to help our early- stage portfolio companies not only address immediate needs but also focus on long-term business goals, priorities, and strategies for scaling, capital planning, and exits. “ Source Website
