Raiane Vasconcellos
Founder
USP Engineer. Tech, Data & Product Leader. Half marathoner.
Raiane is an industrial engineer from the University of São Paulo (USP), half marathoner, and entrepreneur.
She built her tech career across leading fintech and tech companies including CloudWalk, Cielo, and SumUp, in roles centered around data, operations, fraud prevention, strategy, and decision-making.
At CloudWalk, she held leadership roles across multiple divisions, solving complex data and operational challenges at massive scale, developing deep expertise at the intersection of technology, product, and AI.
The real struggle of the runner
The vision for Rai did not originate purely from technology. As a half marathoner, Raiane lived firsthand the daily friction of balancing intense work, life disruptions, and training goals. That sparked the mission of Rai: building adaptive technology that molds around the runner's life — rather than forcing runners to fit into rigid spreadsheets.
Two perspectives. One unified methodology.
Rai was engineered specifically to unite these two strengths in complete harmony.
Technology, Data & Artificial Intelligence
To understand historical trends, interpret smartwatch data, and convert complex workout metrics into actionable daily training decisions in real time.
Training Science & Elite Sports Physiology
To apply proven principles of load progression, cardiovascular adaptation, and recovery aligned with each runner's actual fitness level.
The Human Behind the Numbers
Because effective coaching isn't just heart rate and pace: it accounts for your weekly schedule, sleep, life stress, and how your body responds over time.
