Rally Rd. 2.0

Congrats on the launch guys, but I've been waiting for Android since the start! What's going on??

I've been a happy Rally shareholder since their first car's launch – a 1955 Porsche – and can't wait to invest in their newest asset classes. These are financial investments first and foremost, but there's nothing quite like holding one of these stock certificates, knowing it represents a part of something I dream of calling my own. Big congratulations to Rob, Christopher, Fitz, and the rest of the team ⚾

Thanks for the hunt Nick! When we built V1 of Rally in 2016, we started by making Classic Car investing accessible to everyone - but the vision was always about creating a new paradigm in equity ownership. Since launch, we’ve completed close to 40 Initial Offerings, created true liquidity in alternative assets, and opened our first retail showroom in NY so that everyone can have access to the rarest collectibles on the planet. This week we took the next step in that mission and officially released our next 3 asset offerings: Sports Memorabilia, Vintage Books, and Rare Timepieces, all within the Rally Rd. app. The Dow has the benchmarks. The NASDAQ has tech. Rally has everything you truly care about. Super excited to continue sharing this with the world and the Product Hunt community - Always open to ideas, feedback, or questions 🙌 PS: We re-open the Rally Rd. Store in Soho on Friday with the launch of our newest Initial Offering, a 1994 Lamborghini Diablo SE30 Jota (which will be on display). Anyone in NY come through, we’ve got some special gifts for everyone on Product Hunt starting at 9am!

Please can someone explain to me how is this a returning investment.

Love this concept - hoping to see you open this up to international investors soon. A few questions/points of feedback spring to mind. 1) Are you making a separate SPV for each item that is then filing under Tier2 RegA, or is it all Tier2 RegA offerings directly from Rally Rd (as in theory this would limit the amount of offerings you can do in the future?) 2) Since you are doing Tier 2 offerings, you can take accredited investors, this means non-US individuals or entities who meet the US accredited investor burden. Is there any reason for not doing that currently? 3) It also seems you could split out some portion of each item to an international entity and carry that offering out under Reg S. Is this something you are pursuing? 4) As someone who has done a lot of investing in various collectibles, I'm excited the app is branching out beyond just classic cars, the classic car market is akin to housing investments. They are very stable, and nearly always rising. It's challenging for an investor to make the wrong choice in that market as long as they have the access. Other collectibles grow and wain in value, and often need much more industry expertise. How do you ensure the same investment quality to users in different markets? What's the process for picking items? 5) Do you have plans for collectors or buyers to facilitate partial offerings on your platform in the future? Similar to AngelList for investors, let a buyer or collector find an item, list it on the platform, crowdfund its acquisition and get a portion of ownership as carry? 6) From a marketing perspective, the current name "Rally Rd." does bind you into cars. While the knee-jerk impulse might be to fully rebrand, or to try and shorten the name to 'Rally' (which would be far to competitive) - I'd suggest that a shift in positioning would be fine. Consider something like "Rally Rd. - Invest in What Moves You." Investing in collectibles isn't about finances, precious metals or returns. The value of the items stem from what make someone passionate, what they care about, and what moves them. This is a lovely play on words that can be used with the image of cars and roads, and tie nicely back into your startups history without pinning you too closely to one niche. Best of luck on your continued growth!

Can people from outside of the US invest?
