A Community I Love – Brogan 100 #2
One day they’re going to get tired of me gushing over them, but that day has not yet come.
Revolve is “the largest community of entrepreneurs in Boston.” They are, at heart, a discussion and networking forum for entrepreneurs, business owners, venture capitalists, sales people, freelancers, service providers, and hopefuls.
The heart of the Revolve community is the bi-weekly discussion group, which draws an incredibly wide and deep group of people with an amazing range of talents, expertise, experience, passion, and ideas. They also have two industry specific discussion groups (Green and Entertainment), plus all sorts of additional events like film screenings, parties, educational seminars, panel discussions, award ceremonies…
Behind Revolve (the community) is Revolve (the company), part of the Exemplar Law family. It’s the coolest law firm in the country. No billable hours. No stodgy law firm crap. Tons of experience. Tons of expertise. Tons of love and passion.
My business wouldn’t exist without Revolve… and I’m not even a client of the law firm (yet). I started attending the weekly discussion groups back when I was in Financial Services, and just starting to figure out how to start my own firm. Revolve gave me inspiration, knowledge, and a friendly kick in the pants. After a few months of hanging around over there, I had launched Social Bootstrap. They gave me the push I needed.
Thank you.

It would be interesting to hear about your experience with them as your legal representation, if you ever go with them…obviously a very different perspective than a round table discussion.
