The story

Revelo started in 2014 as a Brazilian tech-recruitment marketplace. Around 2020-2022 it built a cross-border payroll & compliance layer so US companies could hire LatAm devs remotely — the embedded-finance angle sits in that payroll product (payments in USD, crypto or BRL, benefits, tax filing). More recently it has pivoted further upmarket, positioning its 400k+ vetted-engineer network as data infrastructure for frontier AI code-generation models. The Revelo.com.br entity remains the Brazil-side marketplace and payroll operator.
