Meet this week’s guest:
Jonathan Rat is the founder and CEO of Archy, a modern dental software company built to empower practice owners and their teams. A software engineer by training with a master’s in computer science, Jon spent over a decade building platforms at some of the world’s most influential tech companies, including Facebook, SurveyMonkey, and Uber. If you’ve ever paid for a ride, or tipped your driver, you’ve used the global payments infrastructure Jonathan helped design. Originally from France, Jon moved to the US in 2009 and now proudly calls California home. His journey into dental began not in a boardroom, but at home, his wife is a dentist and practice owner. Seeing the day-to-day pain points she faced running a business with outdated, fragmented tools inspired him to build something better.
Archy was born from that insight: that dentists deserve software as smart and reliable as the care they provide. Jonathan is especially passionate about creating more equity in the industry, drawing from experiences where, even in 2025, female dentists like his wife are still underestimated at conferences and in business interactions. Through Archy, he’s working to bring simplicity, dignity, and innovation to an industry overdue for change.Find us on Social Media: @MommyDentistsinBusinessMediaNetwork @archy_dental @JonathanRat
