Startup Service

“There are a lot of accelerator and support programs for early stage and growth stage startups that focus on investment and business,
but very few that focus on the technology and helping startups find a tech partner, resource engineering teams or support technology
decision making. We were a startup once - so we know the challenges” - Jerome MacGillivray, CEO Ratio

Welcome to Ratio

Ratio is a UK full service agency with development centers located in Eastern Europe and an international client base. We focus on strategy, design, web and
mobile development, integration and support services, and cybersecurity. We provide a number of services to clients, including our tailored Startup Service
for technology ventures
 STARTUP CHALLENGES

Whatever stage you are at, finding the right resources and building your
development roadmap and engineering processes can be one of the biggest
headaches.

Managing the development can quickly become complex and investment

funds exhausted before your product is ready for launch.

Instead of doing the strategy to launch your successful business, you get
embedded into finding a CTO or tech engineering lead, making detailed
technology decisions, the headache of recruiting developers and staff,
hands-on prototyping, micromanaging freelancers in 4 different time zones...

With Ratio as you partner you can focus on the business, while we do the
heavy lifting - at prices that won’t drain your budget
Where will you go next?
Running a startup is not for the faint of heart. Typically you start off lean - every penny counts and
you squeeze what you can out of what you have. Once funding comes in the temptation is to spend,
but all too often startups fail because the cash runs out before you can make good on your
promises, or because wrong technology decisions made early on come back to haunt you.
 STARTUP SERVICES

Our Startup Service is designed to be a long term partnership where we provide support at any stage - whether you are
pre-seed, got your first real investment funding, or about to launch into scaleup mode.
