Revelo’s LatAm talent network sees strong demand from US companies, thanks to AI

While many technology companies require the return of their employees to their offices, and the emphasis on building personal teams, they also turn to Latin America to find the talents of developers-especially for artificial intelligence models after training.

Lucas Mendes, founder and executive director of Revelo, Lucas Mendes, told Techcrunch that Revelo, a full platform of developers examined in Latin America, is witnessing an increase in the demand for engineers who can help in training LLM, said the founder of the company Revelo and CEO of Lucas Mendes, told Techcrunch. Revelo has more than 400,000 developers on its platform and facilitates the recruitment and payment process for its customers in the United States.

Mendes said that the recent demand for Revilo’s talent is driven by the next stage of the artificial intelligence revolution: LLMS after training.

“There is a data race, especially the expert human data, which can actually help LLMS to be better in very high -value tasks,” said Mendes. “Coding is one of those tasks. What happened last year is that we saw an increase in demand from [companies] Building foundation forms looking for engineers who can be effective experts that can provide these human data to better help their LLM code. “

LLM training appointments made up 22 % of Revelo revenues in 2024.

Mendez added that this request often seems to be companies coming to them to find experts in specific coding languages ​​to help bridge the gaps in the post -training they are doing.

Revelo supplies workers to American institutions Intuit, Oracle and Dell, among others, including “almost every major artificial intelligence provider”.

Revelo is not the only company looking to connect American companies to programmers in Latin America; Other companies such as Terminal, Tecla and Near are just a few of the same goal.

This demand for skilled developers in the post -training is just the direction of employment that Revelo has managed to ride since its foundation in late 2014.

Mendez said that he launched Revilo, along with the co -founder Lachlan de Crespigny, because the war for talent was narrow at the time, and they believed that if they created a network of talents that were examined in Brazil, companies would be able to find the talent they need.

The demand there and Revelo continued to raise more than $ 48 million in company financing from companies including Social Capital, FJ Labs and Valor Capital Group. The company also expanded outside Brazil and to a wider Latam.

Mendes added that the Covid-19 has expanded the possibility of Revilo’s arrival “heavily.” “Suddenly we started reaching American companies that suddenly realized that you can actually get high -quality distributed teams and have some of these engineers in Latin America,” said Mendes. “So what will happen usually is that they will employ one or two and really love quality, especially the quality of quality and say,” Hey, I want more of these, where do I find them? “

While the rise of distributed and worn work has begun to a large extent in vanishing as companies return to personal work, Revelo is still able to continue to grow. Mandez joking that he hates the man who contradicts the tinnitus, but the demand for their talent has not died despite the movement of technology to the office.

Mendes said that he believed that the demand of American companies for these developers in Latin America has remained because these developers are more in the category of “proxies” from workers outside the United States instead of “the Apostles abroad.” He believes the fact that Revilo’s talent is located in the same areas that make its clients to these appointments more attractive.

Revelo is witnessing enough that it has acquired five other competitors focusing on Latam’s talent in the past 30 months including Alto and Paretisa, which was announced in March.

“We are building the backbone of the global talents of the era of artificial intelligence, and there will be more acquisitions in the future,” he said.
