Entrepreneurial DNA
Patti Rogers, CEO & Founder of Rallyhood, grew up in an entrepreneurial family, which definitely had an impact on how she approached her professional life. She watched both her parents start and grow their various business ventures, which influenced her own career path as a design and marketing entrepreneur. “I found that collaborating with clients’ to drive measurable business results through strategic communication to be very inspiring. I was fortunate to work in a variety of business segments in D.C. and Los Angeles, until I found my way back to Austin, where I Co-Founded a print and digital agency”, says Rogers.
After selling her agency in 2002, she spent several years helping non-profit boards and committees and volunteering where she could with her childrens’ school. Rogers said, “In this period of my life, I learned so much about the critical importance of volunteer leadership and how this kind of collaboration impacts the communities where we live, in big and small ways.”
“This became especially meaningful for me personally, when I went through a two-year journey of breast cancer. I witnessed first-hand the power of a community in action— but I also witnessed the frustration and inefficiency of trying to organize a group with fragmented tools”, Rogers shared.
“Whether it be a for-profit or a non-profit mission, when information is hard to find and tools are hard to use, the experience and outcomes suffer,” Rogers continued. “I recognized there was a gap in the collaboration market and that purpose-driven groups needed better tools to streamline communication, share resources, and productively engage.”
This was the genesis of Rallyhood. Rogers was inspired to build a new kind of platform—that combined the best of social with the best of collaboration tools—to make it easier for people to come together, take action and organize support for the people, groups and causes they care about, no matter what the size or mission. “While the platform continues to expand and evolve, the essence that drives us remains the same—Together, we can do great things!”, says Rogers.
Three ‘A-ha’ Moments
There were three “ahas” that all led to the inspiration of Rallyhood. The first was how critical community is to our health and healing. “I am 100% certain I would have had a different outcome had it not been for the friends and family and neighbors who rallied to take care of me and my family when we went through cancer. The people were amazing and the love was powerful, but the digital tools were terrible. It took 8-9 different tools to try to manage the effort,” says Rogers.
The second aha was that all the groups in her life— from kids’ teams, classes, clubs, scouts, and non-profit committees and boards—all suffered from the same dysfunction. Too many fragmented tools. “Basically, it was easier to dis-engage than it was to stay active,” Rogers added.
The third aha, was there weren’t collaboration tools built for teams trying to organize around groups, projects or causes outside of work. And yet, these groups so often serve a critical role in our day-to-day life experience and directly impact the communities where we live.
Rogers continued, “So, if we could build something that brought all the tools together in one place, to be both social and productive, we could amplify the “good” these groups were aiming to create. We could create a positive ripple effect for groups, causes, and communities everywhere.”
