What We Saw

The Challenge

Before Trio became a company, there was a problem we kept running into.

In 2016, while working with startups in Boston, our founders struggled to find engineers who could deliver consistently, communicate clearly, and grow with the product instead of just shipping tickets.

Then a Brazilian engineer joined one of those teams and quietly raised the bar for everyone.

Exceptional talent wasn’t scarce. Access to it was.

What started as a single hire quickly turned into more companies asking the same question:

“Can you help us find
engineers like this?”

That early group became
known as Team Rio.

The Realization

The System was broken

As Team Rio grew, the problem came into focus.

Traditional hiring moved too slowly. Freelance marketplaces felt unpredictable. Most staffing firms optimized for volume, not quality or continuity.

The gap wasn’t technical. It was structural.

Into the FINTECH World

High-stakes products require a higher standard

Many of the teams we supported worked in regulated, high-risk environments where mistakes carried real consequences. Over time, we became known for a few things that mattered a lot in those settings: reliability, security, and accountability from day one.

Exactly what our future fintech partners were looking for.

Focusing on fintech wasn’t pivotal. It was a natural evolution.
