The Revelate Story

Since 2012, Revelate has been piloted by a leadership team highly experienced in financial technology and big data innovation. The problem they wanted to solve was simple and complex at the same time.

Firms are accumulating massive amounts of data that are scattered all over the place, in different formats, and not standardized, resulting in data that’s hard to find and access, loss of productivity, key insights being lost, missing revenue opportunities, and much more. Today, Revelate provides a fully automated, cloud-based platform that enables any firm to easily distribute their data.

Illuminate Financial, Anges Quebec and Anges Quebec Capital, Fonds de solidarité FTQ, Investissement Québec, CME Ventures and Databricks Ventures propelled us to grow a talented team of committed software engineers, product specialists, customer success, sales, and marketing.

What we do

We’re passionate about data and the possibilities that it provides. Data makes it possible for healthcare organizations to find cures for debilitating diseases, allows transportation companies to provide streamlined routes so people can get to where they need to go faster and safer, fuels algorithms to provide personalized search results, and allows businesses to make better strategic decisions, and so much more. With data, the possibilities really are limitless.

We found a gap in traditional processes of finding and isolating data sets, where the astronomical effort involved in data fulfillment, either for the IT team or the customer, could be greatly improved.

The result is a fully automated data fulfillment platform that simplifies the process of data sharing, buying, and selling. We believe in the power of data democratization, where data movement should be as seamless as possible, with the right data being available for the right person at the right time.
