While most dev shops are still selling 'staff augmentation' by the hour, Ravn has quietly built a $25M business by becoming a true product partner. They don't just write code—they think, build, and ship like an internal team. And with AI-native processes, they're scaling faster than traditional agencies ever could.

"Ravn isn't a vendor—they're a force multiplier. They've figured out how to embed their teams so deeply that clients stop seeing them as outsiders."

The real story is in their positioning. They're not competing with cheap dev shops or massive consultancies. They're targeting the sweet spot: product teams that need to move fast but can't justify full-time hires for specialized roles. Their 'surge squad' model is basically elastic engineering capacity—think of it as AWS for your dev team.

• AI-native delivery model: They don't just use AI tools; they've built processes around them
• True product partnership: Clients treat them like internal teams, not vendors
• Strategic flexibility: From extending leadership roles to full surge squads
• Lean operations: 156 people, $25M revenue—no bloated org chart
