For portfolio companies.
Hands-on Technology Leadership
Growing companies hit a point where technology decisions start to shape the business, not just support it. Whether you're scaling for the next funding round, navigating a platform migration, or preparing your technology organisation for exit, the stakes are too high for guesswork.
Our partners have led engineering teams through exactly these inflection points. We embed with your team to provide the strategic direction and operational grip that turns technology from a risk factor into a value driver.
Why work with Rational Partners?
We Understand Investor Expectations
Having worked extensively with PE and VC firms, we know what investors need to see. We align technology strategy with value creation plans and exit timelines.
Operators, Not Consultants
Our team has built and scaled technology organisations. We roll up our sleeves and work alongside your team, not just advise from the sidelines.
Flexible Engagement Models
From fractional CTO to focused sprints, we structure engagements around your needs, budget, and timeline. Scale up or down as required.
Client Testimonials
"We're constantly amazed to have a 'fractional CTO' (Chris) because he always prioritizes us and never makes us feel like there are other competing interests. Working with Rational Partners has been invaluable at our current stage. It has given us the time to find a top-notch Head of Engineering without rushing and making compromises. As a result, our delivery pace and quality have improved thanks to strategic product and architecture decisions. This is a testament to RP's ethos, which aligns with ours. They don't just manage, but actively participate as player/coaches. Chris is hands-on, resolving problems directly instead of providing sideline advice. Working with Rational Partners has been a game changer!"

Joining us as CTO during a crucial phase, Roja adeptly navigated the complexities we faced, setting out an 18-month plan focusing on technology improvement, team development, cultural integration, and new feature rollout. Roja's approach brought a fresh perspective to our tech team, driving efficiency and innovation, particularly through the integration of AI technologies. His role extended beyond tech leadership, providing valuable insights and strategies to our executive team, significantly contributing to our business growth.His time as CTO has been characterized by thoughtful leadership and strategic planning, enhancing our stature as a technology company.
