Rallyware plans to expand the range of the global companies that can benefit from engaging their distributed workforces via their platform. With 28 present employees across US and Ukraine the company has already managed to double its revenues since the last year and was able to sign such market leaders as Samsung Electronics, Mary Kay Cosmetics, Market America others as customers. Rallyware claims that part of the funding will also go for improving the existing offer to the customers and thus retaining them in the portfolio.
The initial focus of the company was to engage and motivate people in non-profit social and political projects and has quickly grown into the other market niches and use cases. Some of the examples include selling companies, sales organizations, membership networks, associations, volunteers for social and political campaigns, and others.
Digital Future by itself has been one of the most active funds in the region. Earlier this year, Digital Future took part in a US $1 million funding round of the tutoring platform Preply.
