The company raised private funding after both of these events, and went on to raise $5M in venture capital in late 2013. RallyPoint was launched out of the Harvard Innovation Lab at the Harvard Business School., and is currently headquartered in Watertown, MA. == History == The company's two co-founders, Yinon Weiss and Aaron Kletzing, first met in Iraq in a remote combat outpost northwest of Baghdad in 2008. Several years later, the two ran into each other again as students this time at Harvard Business School. After discussion of the difficult transition from military to civilian life as well as the transition from job to job within the military, the two decided to create RallyPoint as a platform for the military community to connect based on the common bond of service.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「RallyPoint」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
