Your technical
co-founder, minus the equity

From idea to exit

Your technical team for every portfolio company

From due diligence to scaling support

Skip the learning curve, leverage our battle scars

We've been doing this for 11 years. Founding companies, scaling them, watching some fail, and others win.

We've made expensive technical mistakes and learned from them. You now get to leverage all of this to build something that works - and works great.

For Founders

Building, scaling, hiring, fixing. We handle the technical stuff

Team collaboration

Got an idea? Let's figure out if it's worth building

We've been through the ideation grind before. We help you talk to customers, spot the ideas that'll actually work, and save you from building something nobody wants. You get honest feedback on what might fly and what won't.

Your non-technical founders need backup

You want to build everything. We get it. But trying to do it all at once is how startups die. We'll help you pick the one thing that matters most, build it, then figure out what comes next. Step by step, until you have hit product market fit.

We don't disappear after launch.

Too many dev shops build your MVP and vanish. Not us. We stick around for the real journey. Helping you hire the 5th to the 50th developer, from serving your first hundred customers and your first million. This isn't a project for us - it's a partnership.

Finding good developers is brutal

We've interviewed hundreds of developers. We know what sets apart the good ones. We help you figure out exactly what kind of person you need, find them, and make sure they actually mesh with your team.

Not ready to hire yet? We are here for you

Our team will work with you like we're part of your company, not just another outsourced dev shop. We know the difference between code that works and code that actually helps your business grow.

Got a fire to put out?

Sometimes you need something built yesterday. A critical feature, client emergency, urgent pivot. We've been the fire department for lots of startups. We come in, get it done, get out.

For Investors and Accelerators

Clarity on the tech behind the pitch. Confidence in the product behind the numbers.

Team collaboration

But what about the tech?

The market looks good. The team seems solid. The numbers make sense. But then someone asks about the technology and everyone gets quiet. We speak both languages, business and code. We'll tell you if the tech actually supports what they're promising to build.

Your non-technical founders need backup

Most successful founders are domain experts, not developers. That's actually good. They should know their market better than their code. But then they might spend six months and serious cash building the wrong technical foundation, only to realize they need to pivot. We've watched this happen too many times. We help them along as their technical co-founder to solve all these problems.

Your portfolio company needs reinforcement

Your startup has a great team of developers, but suddenly they need to ship three times faster. Or they need expertise in something totally new. Or they're drowning under growth pressure. We jump in, help them catch up, and don't stick around longer than needed. We're the technical equivalent of calling in backup.

For Accelerators and Incubator Programs

Your cohort members will inevitably hit various technical walls. We work with them to really understand what problem they're solving and why their approach might work. We train them on how to approach technical challenges without necessarily knowing how to code. Then we help them build something that actually solves that problem, not just something that looks impressive in a demo. Through this co-development period they leave with an MVP as well as the skills to handle the technical team going forward.

Our work speaks for itself...

We take each individual client as a unique challenge and ensure their solution is unique to them.

...but sometimes our clients chime in

We needed a way to provide our startups with deeper technical support, given the specialized and highly technical nature of the technology stacks they were built on, we needed a competent technology partner to provide this support ranging from Tech Infrastructure Audits to DevOps and IT as a Service solutions. Raison Consult became our trusted technical lens, engaging directly with our portfolio teams, uncovering critical issues, and helping chart the best path forward. The impact was immediate. Stronger products, faster decisions, time efficiency, and fewer missteps.
