Our story

Built from first principles

Rather Labs was founded in 2020 by entrepreneurs who wanted to build technology that takes hard problems seriously. From the start, we built a team where physicists and nuclear engineers work alongside software developers: that mix of scientific rigor and engineering pragmatism is what hard problems require.

We approached blockchain from first principles: understand the constraints before writing a line of code, validate assumptions against production, and stay accountable for the outcome. That discipline is what drives how we build today.

Over five years we have shipped more than 80 products, built official partnerships with Arbitrum, NEAR and MultiversX, and expanded across Web3, AI, and frontier engineering domains. Our team has grown to over 60 senior engineers across 13 countries, working with founders and technical leaders worldwide.

How we work

Principles that shape every engagement

Professionalism

We assemble teams of responsible, autonomous, and highly qualified individuals to excel in our projects. Professionalism is one of the main pillars upon which our company thrives. A dedicated and professional team is essential for designing, developing, and launching high-impact projects.

Agility

"Done is better than perfect". When starting to work on a new project it is necessary to have a dynamic team with a high capacity of iteration in response to feedback from potential users. We love to work on new ideas and iterate them looking for the product-market fit.

Proactivity

We propose solutions, not just complete tasks. When we spot a risk or a better path, we say so. Proactive thinking is how we prevent problems that never appear in a sprint backlog.

Impact

We choose to engage in projects that contribute to the ecosystem by developing innovative technologies or fostering a vibrant community. Our goal is always to create a positive impact on society, enhancing people's quality of life through technology.
