“Can a 20-year-old Brazilian IT consultancy reinvent itself as the country's leading AI-Centric transformation partner?”

The story

Deal is a Brazilian IT services / consulting group founded in 2004 that has evolved from a general PME technology consultancy into an AI-Centric consulting firm. Growth has come via bolt-on acquisitions (ManyToOne, BlueDigital, CR2 Studio) rather than external venture funding. Today Deal is positioned as an AI generative consultancy (its euGenIA product) serving enterprises in Brazil, LatAm and the US. It is not itself an embedded-finance provider — one press mention notes Deal invested R$2M in a fintech client, but Deal's own product surface has no banking, lending, or payments functionality.
