Innovation Lab
Rayer Group
An Innovation Lab that turns market problems into working AI services. I design, build and orchestrate agents that replace entire operational functions.
About me
Riccardo Rocchi.
AI Entrepreneur.
I build AI-based digital services. I'm the founder of Rayer Group, my Innovation Lab. The first operational spin-off is RATIO Advisory: the documented method for bringing AI into professional firms and consultancies. The model is a one-person-company orchestrated by AI systems: one person coordinates, the systems execute.
I build verticals that solve a specific problem, then make them operational with AI agents. Every service comes from a method that repeats, not from hours sold one by one. RATIO Advisory is the first: born in public-funding consulting, it now brings AI into professional firms and consultancies. Other spin-offs will follow with the same method: one domain, one system, scalability without adding people.
What I do now
Two projects, one method.
I'm an entrepreneur who builds systems, and I bring them to professionals so they work better, not to replace them. Every system becomes an autonomous service with its own brand and business model.
First live service
RATIO Advisory
The documented method for bringing AI into professional firms and consultancies: process analysis, redesign with AI, training and monitoring.
The path
From structured consulting to autonomous systems.
FIMAP S.r.l., then EY S.p.A. — Senior Consultant
October 2021 — December 2024. Practice in public funding: R&D tax credit, Industry 4.0, national and European grants. Clients including Moncler, Illy, Policlinico Gemelli, Mater Olbia and other healthcare, biotech and medtech players. I saw from the inside how large organizations decide, execute and fail — above all, where they break. I built automation tools no one asked me for, but that kept the team's operations running.
Plug-Me WebAgency — Founder & CEO
August 2020 — present. A web agency for custom digital projects. My first experiment in digital entrepreneurship, alongside my consulting work. Here I learned to build, sell and deliver digital products end-to-end.
The reset
Then the system that broke was me. Burnout, a sabbatical year, a full reset. I quit without a plan B. It's not a narrative pause for effect — it's the moment that changed everything else.
Rayer Group — Founder
2026 — today. I applied the consulting method to myself: I see how the system works, I see where it breaks, I build something better. That's how Rayer Group was born — an Innovation Lab where I turn market problems into working AI services.
Education
Dual roots: hard science and management.
Master's Degree in Biomedical Science Communication
Sapienza Università di Roma — 110/110 with honors. An interclass program between medical biotechnology and communication sciences: translating scientific complexity into accessible language. It's the same logic I apply today to AI systems and digital businesses.
Bachelor's Degree in Biotechnology
Università di Roma Tor Vergata. The first root: genetics, molecular biology, the experimental method. It's why today I think of business problems as systems that can be observed, modeled and taken apart.
Degree in Business Administration
Unitelma Sapienza — specializing in Innovation and Sustainability Management. Double Erasmus: Universidad de Sevilla and UDIMA — Universidad a Distancia de Madrid. Completing my management training on digital business models.
Summer School
Liverpool John Moores University. Linguistic and cultural immersion in an Anglo-Saxon context — my first structured exposure to business models different from the Italian one.
What I can do
Skills I apply every day.
I don't have a single vertical — I have a cross-cutting method. Strategy, technology and speed of execution at the same time. It's what lets a single founder manage the output of an entire team.

Beyond work
The counterweight.
President of VivArte APS, a cultural association. Musician, actor and singer. Art is the counterweight that keeps the work honest: it reminds you that you build for people, not for systems. And it's also why my systems always try to remove friction from daily life, not add it.
