Plataformatec

Plataformatec was a software consultancy firm renowned for its expertise in Ruby and Elixir programming languages. The company primarily served clients across Brazil, the USA, and Europe, focusing on delivering high-quality software solutions tailored to meet specific business needs. Plataformatec operated in the software development market, targeting businesses that required robust, scalable, and maintainable software systems. The company's business model revolved around providing consulting services, custom software development, and technical support, generating revenue through project-based engagements and long-term client relationships. In January 2020, after 11 years of successful operations, Plataformatec was acqui-hired by Nubank, Brazil's first decacorn. The acquisition allowed Nubank to integrate Plataformatec's technical expertise into its operations. Post-acquisition, several of Plataformatec's partners have ventured into new initiatives, continuing to contribute to the tech ecosystem. For instance, Dashbit was founded to assist startups and enterprises in adopting and running Elixir in production, SourceLevel was created to enhance observability in software engineering management, and Elixir Radar was transformed into a new company to support the Elixir ecosystem.
