Fifth acquisition in 30 months positions Revelo as the go-to platform for US businesses seeking elite Latin American developers amid unprecedented demand for AI engineering talent MIAMI, May 8, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Revelo, the leading AI-powered platform helping US businesses find, hire, and pay elite software developers in Latin America, today announced the acquisitions of Alto ( & Paretisa ( These mark Revelo's fourth & fifth acquisitions in 30 months, reinforcing its leadership position as the most comprehensive, all-in-one solution for hiring and managing nearshore tech talent. The acquisitions come as demand for AI tech talent continues to surge—both from businesses integrating AI into products and operations as well as from leading AI companies who require proprietary human data to improve their LLM's code generation capabilities. Growing businesses in particular benefit from Revelo's all-in-one talent platform which provides candidate sourcing and payroll solutions, eliminating the complexity and cost of using multiple disconnected point solutions. "The acquisitions of Alto & Paretisa further strengthen our position as the backbone of tech talent for the AI era," said Lucas Mendes, CEO and co-founder of Revelo. "As demand for AI engineering talent surges, we're providing growing businesses with a simple yet robust all-in-one platform to seamlessly find, hire, and pay elite developers from Latin America—faster and at a fraction of US costs—while maintaining time zone alignment and cultural compatibility."

Revelo's LatAm talent network sees strong demand from US companies, thanks to AI
While many tech companies are mandating that their employees return to their offices, and putting an emphasis on building in-person teams, they are also turning in droves to Latin America to find developer talent — especially for post-training AI models. Revelo, a full-stack platform of vetted developers in Latin America, is seeing a new surge in demand for engineers that can help with LLM training, Revelo co-founder and CEO Lucas Mendes, told TechCrunch. Revelo has more than 400,000 developers on its platform and facilitates the hiring and payment process for its U.S. customers. Mendes said this recent surge of demand for Revelo's talent is driven by the next phase of the AI revolution: post-training LLMs. "There's a race for data, and especially expert human data, that can actually help LLMs be better at very specific high-value tasks," Mendes said. "Coding is one of those tasks. And what happened last year is that we saw a surge in demand from [companies] building foundational models that are looking for engineers that can be effective experts and that can provide that human data to help their LLM code better." LLM training hires accounted for 22% of Revelo's revenue in 2024. Mendes added that often this demand looks like companies coming to them to find experts in specific coding languages to help fill gaps in the post-training they are already doing. Revelo is supplying workers to U.S. enterprises Intuit, Oracle, and Dell, among others, including "nearly every major hyperscale AI provider." Revelo is not the only company looking to connect U.S. companies to programmers in Latin America; other companies like Terminal, Tecla and Near are just a few with the same goal. This demand for developers skilled in post-training is just the latest hiring trend that Revelo has been able to ride since it was founded in late 2014. Mendes said he launched Revelo alongside co-founder Lachlan de Crespigny because the war for talent was tight at the time, and they thought if they created a network of vetted talent in Brazil, companies would be able to find the talent they needed. The demand was there and Revelo went on to raise more than $48 million in venture funding from firms including Social Capital, FJ Labs and Valor Capital Group. The company also expanded out of Brazil and into broader LatAm. The Covid-19 pandemic expanded Revelo's potential reach "massively," Mendes added. "All of a sudden we started getting inbound from U.S. companies who suddenly realized that you can actually have really high-quality distributed teams and have some of those engineers are in Latin America," Mendes said. "So what would happen usually is that they would hire one or two and really like the quality and especially the quality cost tradeoff and say, 'Hey, I want more of these, where do I find them?'" While the rise of distributed and remote work has largely started to fade as companies return to in-person work, Revelo has still managed to keep growing. Mendes joked that he hates to be the guy that goes against the buzz, but the demand for their LatAm talent has not diminished despite tech's movement back to the office. Mendes said he thinks that the demand from U.S. companies for these developers in Latin America has remained because these developers fall more into the "nearshoring" category of workers outside the U.S. as opposed to "offshoring." He believes the fact that Revelo's talent is located in the same time zones as their client companies makes these hires a lot more attractive. Revelo is seeing enough demand that it has acquired five other competitors focused on LatAm talent in the last 30 months including Alto and Paretisa, which were announced in March. "We're building that global talent backbone for the age of AI and there will be more acquisitions in the future," he said.

SEIU 24-hour strike puts most Kern County services at a standstill
BAKERSFIELD, Calif. (KGET) — On Wednesday, a massive group of protestors united in front of the Kern County administrative building in response to what they called the 'county's unfair bargaining and staffing crisis.' The protest began at the Department of Human Services building at 6 a.m., before the angry crowd took their chants to the Kern County Administrative Building four hours later. 'We'll see what these idiots decide to do, and if nothing moves we strike again,' said Attorney Arturo Revelo with the Public Defender's Office. Revelo says the county doesn't pay enough. 'We train attorneys here in Kern County for all the counties,' said Revelo. 'We get them here. We get them well prepared and then they leave to another county because they can't live with what they make here.' The protest comes on the heels of the last Board of Supervisors meeting on Feb. 25, after the union's demands weren't met. 'It's not acceptable,' said Sean Vansickel, an employee with the Beale Memorial Library. 'We've tried negotiating, and they're unwilling to negotiate in good faith. So, we're out here, and we will be back out here if we need to be in the future.' Heritage Oak School to host first Clay Classic in April SEIU 521 President Alicia Aleman said, 'We're short staffed. We're overworked because we can't retain employees in the different departments. This is a common thread in all departments. It isn't just one.' Aleman is SEIU chapter president and a social worker for the county. She says most county workers are doing the jobs of three people and they're struggling to serve the community. 'We have the backup of Kern County employees, and they're out here,' said Aleman. 'If this doesn't speak volumes to them, I don't know what else is.' Not everyone is on board with the strike. Especially, mothers trying to get back to their children who were taken away by social services. Mother of two, Tekk Huy, is against the protest. 'This shouldn't be appropriate. They should be at their job. They should be watching us visit our kids right now instead of pulling away from that time,' said Huy. 'Don't worry about the money. Do it out of your heart.' The 24-hour strike impacts food assistance, mental health care, and child protective services. 'I would at least like to see social workers take it down a notch for us parents,' said Huy. 'Like, where's our raise? You wanna raise, I wanna raise my kids.' The protest isn't done. Aleman said county workers will unite yet again on Saturday. Kern County spokesperson, Stacy Kuwahara, says each 1% raise comes out to another $5 million a year, and the last proposal would've added another $36 million for union workers. Kuwahara says the county simply can't maintain it's duty to the taxpayers and the board of supervisors look forward to future renegotiations. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
