From the team that built Ally.io, acquired by Microsoft

We have spent years helping companies turn strategy into action.

We built one generation of software around goals and alignment. AI now lets us solve the harder problem: doing more of the work required to keep the organization operating around those goals.

Our story

Goals were only part of the problem.

Vetri Vellore founded Ally.io to help companies turn strategy into measurable goals, and Microsoft acquired it. Building at global scale taught us that creating the goal wasn’t the hard part. The hard part was everything afterward: keeping progress current, preparing reviews, and following through.

Rhythms
A new company built around what AI makes possible: software that takes on more of the operating work.

Software recorded the work. People still ran it.

AI changes that. Rhythms takes on more of the operating work, and helps companies rethink how it should happen: which reporting stays, which meetings change, and where people add judgment.
