Rainmaking is a global corporate innovation and venture development firm that partners with the world's leading corporations and entrepreneurs to build, accelerate, and scale new businesses. Founded in 2007 by a group of entrepreneurs, Rainmaking combines entrepreneurial expertise with corporate assets to solve big problems through three main routes: building new ventures from scratch, facilitating startup partnerships with corporates, and providing coaching programs for organizational transformation. The firm operates through multiple entities including Rainmaking Venture Studios for corporate venture building and Startupbootcamp, one of the world's most active global accelerators. Rainmaking takes an entrepreneurial approach rather than traditional consulting, sharing risks and rewards through results-based pricing where fees are linked to tangible value delivered. With 200+ team members across 35 nationalities, the firm emphasizes creating measurable business results including €50 million in forecasted revenue from 7 internal ventures with Ramboll, $14M in cost savings for Engie, and hundreds of successful startup-corporate pilots. As a member of the UN Global Compact, Rainmaking drives major sustainability and social impact initiatives alongside commercial outcomes.
