RallyCry Ventures

RallyCry Ventures is a venture capital firm specializing in early-stage investments in technology companies. They focus on investing in ideas rather than products or traction, aiming to be the first institutional investor before any capital has been raised. Their approach emphasizes a collaborative process, referred to as 'Rally to MVP,' which involves working closely with founders to develop their business, product, and revenue models. This process includes defining the product-market fit, crystallizing the investor story, and building a minimum viable product (MVP).

The firm's investment criteria include being the first investor, targeting companies with direct revenue models, and focusing on technology-enabled solutions that create new markets. They do not invest in companies built on indirect revenue models, such as media, content, or advertising. RallyCry Ventures provides support through a team of architects specializing in product development, customer experience, and revenue strategy, assisting founders in building and scaling their businesses.

RallyCry Ventures has invested in companies like Alertli, a social networking app that allows users to share and receive location-based, eyewitness accounts of incidents happening around them. Their investment philosophy centers on empowering founders with the necessary expertise and resources to bring their ideas to market successfully, fostering innovation and growth in the technology sector.
