Rainfall Ventures is the institutionalized rebrand of a family office rooted in major social and gaming exits (VK.com and Plarium), led by non-traditional partners including a former IDF tech unit member turned gaming founder and a former child actor who sourced Robinhood as a bike messenger. The fund operates with a values-driven, operator empathy approach while maintaining an unusually broad global mandate across all sectors, writing concentrated early checks and co-investing quietly with top-tier funds like Sequoia and Bessemer to help founders access elite syndicate partners without megafund baggage.
