Revitate is the investment platform co-founded by siblings Alex Bhathal and Lisa Bhathal Merage, building on the multigenerational legacy of their family investment office, RAJ Capital. After years of backing category-defining companies in consumer, sports, and real estate—and launching RevOZ Capital as a nationally recognized Opportunity Zone leader—Alex and Lisa expanded Revitate to serve external investors, supported by an institutional-grade investment and operations team.
Today, Revitate continues to be a leader in the Opportunity Zone sector while also focusing on the broader sports ecosystem, including investments in the Portland Thorns (NWSL) and Portland Fire (WNBA), related real estate developments, and its partnership with Rx3 Growth Partners—anchoring a long-term vision to build community while driving enduring economic and social impact.
In evaluating opportunities, Alex and Lisa developed a passion for backing business-builders with the vision, talent, and drive to achieve transformational economic and social impact.
In 2013, The Bhathal family acquired the Sacramento Kings NBA franchise as principal co-owners in an investment group led by Vivek Ranadive. Raj Bhathal was appointed Vice Chairman and Alternate Governor for the team, and Alex became Executive Board Member. In subsequent years, the Kings spearheaded the transformation of downtown Sacramento through the development of the award-winning Golden 1 Center, Sawyer Hotel, and Downtown Commons retail and entertainment district. In total, these projects comprised over $1 billion in development of six city blocks and catalyzed over $1.4 billion in additional development within a mile of the district.

As a platform to leverage RAJ Capital’s expertise in consumer brands, Alex joined Rx3 Growth Partners in 2018 in the role of Investment Partner. Pro athlete Aaron Rodgers founded Rx3 alongside seasoned investors Nate Raabe and Byron Roth on the idea that new and greater forces are unlocked when the world of influence and capital collide.
Rooted in the legacy of the RAJ Capital family investment office, Revitate is adding new talent and capabilities to power the transition from a single family office to a scalable, diversified investment management platform.
In 2021, Revitate launched its first joint venture with Chris Marsh and the Cherry Tree Capital Partners team to invest in multifamily value-add and workforce housing real estate opportunities in the Sunbelt and Midwestern regions.
