Innovative Financial Media Outlet Real Vision Appoints New President

Real Vision, a fast-growing financial media outlet with an audience of hundreds of thousands and tens of thousands of paying subscribers, announced the hiring of experienced technology executive Travis Kimmel as the next president of Real Vision.

RealVision began operations in September 2014 and has been mainly funded by subscription revenues. In its sixth year, the company’s audience has continued its explosive growth,  doubling its paid subscriber base in the past year. Further, since launching Real Vision Crypto two weeks ago, the company has also nearly doubled its on-platform viewership. To continue its growth, Real Vision has raised $30 million entirely through investments by its community of high net worth members.

Kimmel comes to his new role with years of experience managing large, cross-functional teams, serving previously as CEO of top 100 YCombinator startup GitPrime. After co-founding the software development management startup, Travis grew the business’ revenues at more than 300 percent per year at 86 percent gross margin, exiting the business at a $180 million valuation despite only raising $13 million in capital. Kimmel oversaw approximately 80 employees at the time of his exit.

In his new role, Travis will work closely with Real Vision’s co-founder and CEO Raoul Pal and the company’s other founders and executives to continue to accelerate the growth of its subscriber base, building on its foundation of content and the community of thousands of users already devoted to using and contributing to the platform.

“I have been amazed to watch the progress Real Vision has made since it began, building out a new model for sharing in-depth content about financial markets,” said Mr. Kimmel. “I am extremely excited and pleased to help the company build on what they have already achieved and move on to the next phase.”
