We had the good fortune of connecting with Raquel Breaux and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Raquel, what role has risk played in your life or career?
When it comes to risk taking I believe that it’s important to have the ability to take on new risks when you’re an entrepreneur and life in general. Some of the most amazing people in the world have been the biggest risk takers in history. For me, the biggest risk I’ve taken is to jump into something new with no hesitation when I felt it was the right time. I’ve worked my way throughout my entire career, slowly moving from one role to another, and then finally realizing that having my own business is where my passion lies and also where I thrive most as an individual and professional.

Alright, so for those in our community who might not be familiar with your business, can you tell us more?
A little about Revolve Tech Inc, it’s a Houston based tech startup company, that was established in 2021, to launch a new Dating App called Revolve Dating. The whole point of creating this app was to provide a new way for singles to date and meet in real life. The main concept of Revolve Dating, is a dating app that revolves around the person, and schedule, interests. We all know that dating can be tough and time consuming, but with our app it’s easy to set your calendar availability and send date requests quickly with singles in your area. Originally we launched the app in Houston, TX last July and it’s grown in over 13 countries. The company is rapidly growing and we are now adding key team members to the company. Our main goal at Revolve Dating is to have a positive impact on the ways people connect and date, in person, and to grow our company by adding value to the community. There have been many lessons learned along this journey, being new to the tech industry and not having a background with the tech field, it’s been eye opening to say the least. Overall we’ve built and established a good core team of developers, and marketing experts to help grow and build our brand. We thank everyone for their support and look forward to the continued international expansion.

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
Being from Houston, there is a plethora of museums and restaurants as well as great shopping! Some of my personal favorites spots are:

Buffalo Bayou Park for walking/rollerblading/exercise. You can take a nice relaxing walk along the bayou and see the beautiful skyline of Downtown Houston.

The Galleria Mall for shopping, will have a great mix of designer and luxury stores to satisfy your shopping, as well as an Ice Skating rink to enjoy yourself for hours.

Top restaurants would be:
Izakaya Wa for Japanese food
El Tiempo for Mexican food
North Italia for Italian food
Julep for happy hour drinks
Present Company for happy hour drinks

Museum of Fine Arts
Contemporary Arts Museum of Houston

If you want to venture out of Houston and drive north about 25 mins, you can visit Market Street in the Woodlands, for more food and shopping!
