Randy Rayess

I have worked in venture capital, private equity and at startups in financial services, transaction processing and machine learning. A consistent problem my cofounder, Pratham Mittal, and I found in the tech companies we worked at or invested in was in software. Outsourcing software, managing remote and distributed engineering teams and hiring the best software developers full time or as freelancers is difficult. We started VenturePact.com to help businesses better address their tech needs. Over the last few years we have met software consulting firms around the world (both onshore and offshore) and assessed their portfolio, their programmers, and their previous clients' experiences. Based on their skill set, industry focus and pricing schemes, we connect companies with these trusted prescreened software development firms. I enjoy meeting and working with passionate people, playing sports, traveling and speaking. I usually speak about: Entrepreneurship and Career Decisions Remote work and Outsourcing Tech Talent and Tech Hiring Product Development and UIUX (User Interface and User Experience) Marketplace startups Technology trends such as mobile, video, Internet of Things, wearables, 3D printing, robotics, data science and blockchain innovations including digital currency Common misspellings: Randy Rayes, Randi Rayess, Randy Reyes
