Rank Ventures

A different type of Venture Capital Investor

We connect the dots to help you build a new reality

Flexible Capital|Industry Experts|Unique solutions for exceptional operators

Time and capital, in balance

We commit time and capital, balancing the needs of the company, key stakeholders and our community of investors. Aligned, because we invest alongside you in every deal and lead the round rather than follow it. Flexible, because we're not a fund and can structure from pre-seed to Series C, in equity, convertible notes or debt, with investors choosing what they back. And hands-on, because our partners and community are operators by nature, with experience across sectors, geographies and the capital structure — from strategy and introductions to hiring, fundraising and go-to-market.

A community with a wealth of experience

A community with a wealth of experience across sectors, led by two partners who are operators by nature.

What we look for

Core infrastructure technology

We like Core Infrastructure technologies that have the potential to dominate or disrupt large markets.

Intellectual Property

We like businesses that have an element of IP or similar moat — patents, trade secrets, content, exclusive access to data, or a team with deep domain expertise.

Long term partnership

We like to work with our portfolio companies throughout their journey, often in the capacity of board directors or advisers.

Product market fit

We take a holistic view on product market fit, rather than focusing on headline revenues. We like to understand a company's commercial pipeline at a granular level and encourage a tight feedback loop between sales and product iteration.

Collaborative stakeholders

Our mission is to "bring people together". This feeds into everything we do and we strive to work with companies and their stakeholders open to this relationship.

Passion and compassion

We are passionate about our work and keep our portfolio companies at the forefront of conversations with partners, investors and commercial introductions. In parallel we understand it is a tough road as a founder and prioritise your health.

Testimonials

What founders say

"Working with Rank has been an exceptionally rewarding experience that surpasses all expectations. Rank's strategic acumen and profound understanding of the complexities involved in scaling a B2B SaaS product have been invaluable. Their unique blend of visionary insight, practical advice, and genuine care for both business and personal growth sets them apart as truly remarkable partners and mentors."

Nadav Israel
Nadav IsraelFounder at Edgify

"Rank Ventures are visionary investors who prioritise commercial reality, integrity and emotional intelligence. Their support for Edgify surpasses expectations — as well as giving financial support, they dive into the trenches to help navigate many operational and other challenges."

Mitch Goldman
Mitch GoldmanCOO at Edgify

"I've been a founder for 10 years, 2 companies and 1 exit. Rank is the most unique investor I've ever had. Most investors fail to deliver operational value. In the less than 12 months I've known them, they've helped me raise money, hire staff, given me customers and access to high quality operational resources. I actually look forward to our board meetings with them — I'm genuinely excited to hear their thoughts."

Shekinah Adewumi
Shekinah AdewumiCEO at Apata

"Ankush and Rajan have been fantastic advisers to the company and during our funding rounds. Their natural ability to prioritise the company and founders, with a long term mindset, is refreshing. They have a very clear “big picture” approach whilst having the experience and expertise to consider the fine print."

Sean Williams
Sean WilliamsFounder and CEO at AutogenAI

"Rajan has been a fantastic investor, colleague and friend to Driftrock over the years. A great balance of helping out, whilst giving us room to grow as a company."

Matt Wheeler
Matt WheelerCEO at Driftrock

"Developing and positioning a B2B SaaS Tech product is not an easy task and Ankush perfectly understands the complexities of it. Always willing to help, he has a valued hands-on approach. He is the partner you want to have on your side."

Emmanuel Massenez
Emmanuel MassenezCEO at Kwali

"Rajan's advice and attitude towards the business were far more personal than just his own investment interest, regularly reaching out to see how me and my family were and offering his time to chat through all issues to do with starting your own venture. He's a very good man to have on your side."

Matthew Fox
Matthew FoxCEO at Snaptrip

"Rajan is hands on assisting in capital raising and team building processes and in addition, Rajan has continued to work closely with our commercial team, helping to develop strategic and client partnerships. Rajan has always made sure to check in on a personal level too — something greatly appreciated when running at such speeds in the fast paced tech startup world!"

Henry White
Henry WhiteCEO at xUnlocked

"Ankush is a savvy investor, combining flexibility of thinking, a keen sense of risk/reward, and the ability to take decisive action. He has opened up his network and experience to support several portfolio companies; his investment picks have included some of our most successful projects."

Stephan Apel
Stephan ApelFounding Partner at Outlier Ventures

"Ankush has the right combination of strategic, financial and tactical experience to provide real value. He doesn't just throw ideas out there — he follows up, leverages his connections and puts in the time. Life is short and who you work with matters. I'm proud to say that Ankush is in our inner circle and is someone who has joined us on this journey."

Jeff Schnurr
Jeff SchnurrCEO at Jaza

"Having known Rajan for a number of years, I've consistently been impressed by the high-conviction, value add approach he takes when partnering with founders. He is an investor that most founders would be lucky to have along for the journey."

Harveer Bharaj
Harveer BharajInvestor at Q Ventures

"Ankush has an ability to grasp the big vision as well as apply a fundamental, practical view on company building. This is combined with a rare ability to proactively generate leads outside of his existing network. He was a great asset to us in this regard and continues to be to this day."
