Revolve is an American online fashion retailer founded in 2003 by Michael Mente and Mike Karanikolas, who met while working at a software company and launched Revolve with $50,000 of their own capital.
The company grew into one of the leading e-commerce destinations for millennial and Gen Z consumers by pioneering the use of influencer marketing and social media to drive discovery and sales. Revolve operates two segments: REVOLVE, its core platform for premium contemporary fashion, and FWRD, a curated luxury fashion destination.
The company went public on the NYSE in June 2019 under the ticker RVLV, raising $212 million at a valuation of approximately $1.2 billion.
