01 / WHAT IT BUILT
What the company did
Rally (Rally Rd) is a fractional-investing platform for collectibles founded by Rob Petrozzo, Christopher Bruno and Max Niederste-Ostholt. It buys high-end collectibles — classic cars, rare watches, sports memorabilia, art and wine — turns each into an SEC-qualified company, and sells fractional shares to investors, who can later trade them on the platform's secondary market during monthly trading windows after a 90-day lockup.
