Powering Purpose-driven Innovation
Founder's Story
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 Syzygy 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 Syzygy Impact, powered by RampRate.
Our Vision
We build an Ecosystem of impact-preneurs and trailblazers powered by opportunities, resources, innovation and human spirit
Our Core Values & Principles of Engagement
In order to meaningfully live our company values with our clients and in terms of our services and products, we must be agile, efficient, and entrepreneurial. While these are common buzzwords in the startup space, they have distinct meanings here at Syzygy Impact.
We aren’t afraid to say that not every instance of just and sustainable business practices brings immediate benefits. In short, not everything is a “win-win” and sometimes tradeoffs are needed.
- 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 if their adoption results in creative destruction and makes the world catch up
- That said, not all that is new is better – we believe in rigorous evaluation and audit of every new technology, tokenomics of new coins, and real health effects of every new therapy
- We embrace personalization in all aspects of the market. There are no good and bad products & suppliers – only good and bad fits to the situation
- Decentralized grassroots action – we are not paternalistic – we will partner with the communities we serve to help them use the best decentralized tools to organize & lead
- Boldness – we believe in ourselves, communities we create, and in making a difference together
