Miguel Armaza sits down with the very genuine Rob Petrozzo, Co-Founder and CPO of Rally, an alternative investing platform for blue-chip and digital collectibles, including classic cars, sports memorabilia, watches, and NFTs, totaling over 400 assets in 19+ different categories.

Founded back in 2016, Rally has grown to half a million users, actively finds, manages, and fractionalizes some of the most important collectibles and museum-grade items in the world, including vintage wine and dinosaur fossils. Although I recorded the interview from Rally’s offices, unfortunately, I could NOT taste some of those top wines! They’re backed by Alexis Ohanian, Anthemis, Porche Ventures, Social Leverage, Upfront and many more.

We discuss:

The fascinating world of collectibles. How does Rally find and secure some of the most incredible items in the world?
Power of community and how Rally actively incorporates client feedback into product design and company strategy
The intersection between collectibles and digital assets like NFTs
Funder mistakes from the early days of Rally… and a lot more!
