Steve Case
The Visionary
The future, and what is barely possible, reads round the next corner.
Steve Case reads as The Visionary because conviction has consistently preceded consensus in his career. He built AOL when the internet was a hobbyist curiosity, then founded Revolution to steer venture capital toward cities and founders that coastal networks had written off. His insistence that revolutions demand years of grinding invisibility before momentum arrives marks him as a visionary who earned his certainty through duration, not a dreamer trading on optimism.
“I knew I wanted to do that. When I graduated from college in 1980, there were no internet companies to go to work for because it was more of an idea.”
“Revolutions happen in evolutionary ways. It's not an overnight success. There's a slog before finally you build some momentum.”
“75% of venture capital over the last decade has gone to just three states. How do we level the playing field so everybody, everywhere has a shot at the American dream?”
