Impact and Technology-Focused Advisor for Enterprise & Startups
RampRate is a global advisory firm focused on the most impactful, positive opportunities in tech and wellness. Founded in 2000. Private & self-funded. Profitable since birth.
Elevating the Way Business Does Business
Hi, We're Tony and Alex, we founded RampRate in 2000 on the premise of elevating the way business does business. We could take the same connections that allowed us to cut 24% of each IT budget we touched and use them to kick down the barriers for tech innovators. We could take the same business planning rigor that we used to guide Sony, McKinsey, Microsoft or Intel on entering new markets and use it to help impact-driven startups reach their potential.
So that's what we're doing today — we find the next unicorns and gatekeepers to impact that will not just earn millions yet better millions of lives. We grok their vision while putting them through bootcamp to be ready for life-changing opportunities. And then we kick down the barriers to their success by connecting them with our ecosystem and leveraging the trust we've built in the Fortune 1000 over 20 plus years to create opportunities few others can access.
The purpose driven economy is here. And its leaders, in one way or another, will be powered by RampRate.
Principals, Not Pyramids.
Every engagement is led by the same senior team that has been serving Fortune 500 companies for 25 years. No junior associates. No handoff to unknown delivery teams. The people whose names are on the testimonials are the people who serve you.

Our Values & Principles
We build an ecosystem of impact-preneurs and trailblazers powered by opportunities, resources, innovation and human spirit.
We serve others — we provide the tools they need, and together we build their future and dreams.
We choose who we work with — we forge a bond through shared values with those who are innovative, inspiring, impact-focused change agents.
We deal in rationality and pragmatism — hope is not a strategy; anecdotes are not data; inputs are not impacts.
We dream big — rationality and audacity are not mutually exclusive. We partner with inspirational leaders and unravel the world's greatest challenges together.
We support execution — we not only recommend the course of action, but back our recommendations with the work required to implement them successfully.
We earn trust — we follow through on our commitments, and require our partners and anyone we vouch for to do likewise.
We overdeliver on our promises — we are resourceful and our effort is only bound by what benefits our client.
We support diversity, equity, and inclusion — for powerful change to happen, people with a variety of lived experiences come together to form creative and productive teams.
We are engines of transparency — we raise the bar on each ecosystem we touch by shining the light on greenwashing, corruption, and self-dealing.
We believe in the transformational power of technology and innovation — that new impact-focused approaches in tech, health, and crypto should be embraced even through creative destruction.
Not all that is new is better — rigorous evaluation and audit of every technology, tokenomics, therapy.
We build an ecosystem of impact-preneurs and trailblazers powered by opportunities, resources, innovation, and human spirit.
