Don’t let your OKRs be TBD: Ally helps companies focus on their most important goals

It was a problem that came up at his first startup that led Vetri Vellore to create his second one.
In 2007 Vellore co-founded Chronus, a company providing digital tools that allow large businesses to run employee development programs for mentoring and coaching. It was going well, but Vellore found that it was difficult to effectively and efficiently manage his team. The resources that he wanted didn’t seem to be available.
So in 2017, two years after Chronus was acquired by a private equity firm, Vellore decided to pursue a new project.
“I found myself itching to do something much bigger,” Vellore said. He launched Ally, a Bellevue, Wash.- based company that provides Objectives and Key Results (OKR) management solutions.
