In 2014, while the world was riding the next wave of technological innovation, graduate students Lachlan de Crespigny and Lucas Mendes observed two obstacles constraining the tech industry's potential for growth and advancement. The first issue was that the demand for tech expertise in countries like the US was growing faster than their talent pool could accommodate. The second issue was that geography was limiting opportunities for top tech talent.
Reflecting on their experiences in the US, where hiring remotely from global talent pools was not commonplace yet, and Brazil, and LatAm in general, a region of untapped, world-class talent with only local opportunities, Lachlan and Lucas set out to bridge the gap by founding Revelo in 2015.
Today, Revelo is a series B, hyper-growth tech startup headquartered in Miami with over 400 remote employees distributed across the United States and Latin America.
During a period of study abroad, founders Lucas and Lachlan realized that one of the obstacles to Brazil's growth was the difficulty in finding talent quickly and efficiently. In 2014, the dream of starting a business that would change hundreds of lives came true. It wasn't easy.
“We talked to companies and candidates during the day, and at night we did all the programming on the platform.”
“The first year was the most challenging of our lives”.
Just as every human has their own DNA, they also have their own unique experiences, skill sets, and ideas. At Revelo, we aim to REVEAL each person’s unique gifts, building upon what they have to unlock their potential and foster growth. This is how Revelo’s name was born.
The name Revelo reflects our mission and visual identity, referring to our DNA which both unites us and makes us unique. Revelo has grown to hundreds of people passionate about human relationships, and committed to boosting careers, teams, and businesses.
