After his 14 years career with Microsoft, Vetri Vellore started Chronus, an enterprise mentoring platform which got acquired by a PE firm. He later started Ally, an OKR software, which he scaled from a team of 15 to 250+ in less than 3 years, helping 1000s of customers in bringing purpose, focus and happiness to work and unleash productivity gains of 2x to 4x.
Ally had raised series C funding and was on the path to further scale up and raise another round at a Billion dollar plus valuation. That’s when Microsoft approached them, resulting in an acquisition within 3 years of starting Ally, at a revenue multiple close to 100x.
