Engineers Who Truly Own the Product: How Connect Fintech Scaled with Revelo
The Story
Christo Brown, Head of Product at Connect Fintech, spent three years cycling through development teams without finding a group that truly owned the product. Traditional recruiting methods failed to provide the stability and commitment needed for a fintech platform. By shifting his strategy to Latin America with Revelo, Christo transformed a fragmented hiring process into a centralized, high-performing team.
The Vision/Challenge
Connect Fintech struggled with a revolving door of engineers who acted as "contractors" rather than product owners. Christo’s challenge was to replace inefficient recruiting with a reliable stream of vetted, high-quality candidates who could handle the complexities of fintech. He needed a partner that could filter the overwhelming open market to find senior talent ready to integrate where the business actually operates.
The Revelo Partnership
Connect Fintech utilized Revelo to move from fragmented hiring to a strong, centralized team based in Latin America. By tapping into Revelo’s network of 400,000+ vetted engineers, Christo secured senior, LatAm-based talent that is time-zone aligned and deeply committed to the product roadmap. These nearshore engineers work directly for Connect Fintech, while Revelo manages the payroll and compliance, allowing the product team to focus on innovation instead of constant recruiting.
In Their Words
"We stopped looking for 'resources' and started looking for owners. Revelo provided the vetted, high-quality candidates we needed to finally build a team that cares about the product as much as we do."
