The world of startups is the hot spring of human ingenuity, wealth, well-being, life and death. The life of a founder is all about getting fast traction, quality revenues, fast product-market fit and a laser sharp go-to-market. The life of an investor is all about spotting the future early at the lowest risk and leaning into it.
Risks and rewards in this venture world have not been well aligned. RAIN re-adjusts that. Our focus is on closing break-through revenue deals, aligning them with funding strategy, reducing the waste of time and energy that distracts the founder and impacts value creation.
RAIN puts enterprise revenues back at the center. This is the focal point of today’s investing world. RAIN gives exceptional Founders completely new resources to achieve success.

The RAIN Foundation has a passion for deal making, spotting opportunities, managing complex negotiations, investing in the best companies, creating and maintaining deep connected networks and combining tech domain knowledge with deal making.
The people at RAIN know how to combine things differently, to experiment, to understand top-down sales processes, to know how to represent companies and to run a serious financial institution.
Founders need to re-evaluate their business models and shift to the new norms of revenues.
Investors are focused on revenue creation, unit costs, ROE and ROIs.
Enterprises are cutting their procurement budgets and prioritizing new projects, they are only taking on what is necessary.
They are being inundated by sales calls from startups. Trusted relationships, deep contacts and negotiation skills are more valuable than ever.
Too Deal Makers want the best companies to invest their time, energy and money.
They want clean and straightforward ways to engage with companies and get going. Deal Makers also want to be part of a special network with access to domain knowledge and deep reach.
