As previously seen on Forbes (full story by Richard Nieva here: https://lnkd.in/eSqxKkcE), we have breathtaking plans for the *FUTURE. → AI/R Announces 2025 IPO Plans as AI Revolution Accelerates AI/R, a leading AI platforms and services company, has announced plans to go public in 2025. As a global provider of artificial intelligence innovation to clients including Toyota North America, bp, and Nestlé, the company projects over $350 million in revenue for 2024, positioning itself for its next growth phase. "We are ready," said Gil Torquato, the company's primary investor. "The company has been profitable since day one, allowing us to invest in growth acceleration." The total addressable market for AI in services is in the trillions of dollars, according to a new report by Sequoia Capital calling the opportunity "service-as-a-software." Sequoia, one of the largest venture and growth investment firms, famous for their investment in Apple in 1978, is now saying "service-as-a-software" will challenge the software development and digital transformation services sector to go from a labor to a platforms business model. This is where AI/R's platforms and execution capabilities come in and seem completely aligned with the "service-as-a-sofware" vision. Founded as Compass UOL, AI/R has evolved to position itself at the forefront of the AI revolution, providing its own proprietary AI platforms and services across industries. AI/R also operates six brands that specialize in providing AI innovation through the engineering of enterprise applications and digital products for customers in financial services, consumer goods, retail, telco and utilities: Avenue Code, Compass UOL, Edgy Labs, LLC, Everymind, Invillia , and WEBJUMP "AI/R is committed to making AI accessible and transformational for every enterprise we work with," said Alexis Rockenbach, Global CEO of AI/R. "Our evolution into an AI-platforms business underscores our dedication to leading this revolution and helping our customers achieve unprecedented growth and efficiency through AI." The company's strategic acquisitions in the U.S. and abroad have solidified its global presence, particularly in North America, where AI/R now generates half its revenue. Headquartered in San Francisco, the company serves iconic brands in e-commerce, finance, and technology. Toyota is doubling its investments with AI/R in 2024, said Alex Pham, research development chief architect at Toyota North America in a Forbes interview this month. The automaker relies on AI/R's services to test out AI projects in different cloud environments, leveraging the company's relationships with cloud providers like Amazon Web Services. Toyota is also considering using AI/R platforms and tools for logistics and supply chain management.

AI/R Group, Which Helps Companies Deploy AI Tools, Eyes A 2025 IPO AI/R Group, a digital services conglomerate that helps corporate clients deploy AI tools, is planning a public market debut for the second half of 2025. The company was born out of Compass UOL, a Brazilian tech outsourcing firm for software development founded in 1996. In 2020, Compass began acquiring several digital services companies, including Avenue Code, a consultancy that helps clients with building AI and infrastructure tools; Everymind, which implements tools for businesses on the Salesforce platform; and WEBJUMP, which focuses on building on Adobe’s enterprise e-commerce platform. In April, it rebranded as AI/R Group, short for AI Revolution, and established a holding company for its six subsidiaries. Alexis Rockenbach, CEO of AI/R Group and founder of Compass, told Forbes the conglomerate has made some $350 million in revenue this year, up from more than $250 million in 2023. He said the company is profitable, but declined to provide additional detail. AI/R Group now has 6,000 engineers and works with clients including Toyota North America, bp and Nestlé, Rockenbach said. Totoya, for example, uses AI/R Group’s services for its digital needs, like helping shoppers compare vehicles or marketing its brand online. On the back end, AI/R Group’s agents use a tool Compass launched last year called AI Cockpit, a platform for building apps using generative AI, which can help clients update outdated software systems for sales and other operations. Rockenbach said AI/R Group is also beginning to look at licensing the platform to corporate customers. While many of the subsidiaries have historically served Brazil and Latin America, Rockenbach said almost half its revenue now comes from the North America, and the AI/R Group holding company is based in San Francisco. AI/R Group’s IPO push, as well as its AI-infused rebranding, illustrates the ongoing tilt of the entire tech industry toward AI. Rockenbach founded Compass almost 30 years ago, riding every new technology wave for its outsourcing services, from e-commerce to cloud computing. In 2013, the Compass sold to Brazilian media conglomerate Universo Online (UOL). UOL spun off Compass in 2020, but still holds a 70% stake in the company. Rockenbach said AI/R Group has historically thought of digital service firms, but hopes to be seen as peers of GitLab and Codeium, which help automate coding, as it pushes further into AI. Alex Pham, research development chief architect at Toyota North America, said the automaker uses AI/R Group’s services mostly to help them test out different cloud environments, leveraging the company’s relationships with different cloud providers including Amazon Web Services and Oracle. Toyota spent $400,000 with AI/R Group in 2023, Pham said. It’s expected to grow to $1 million this year, he added, and Toyota is also considering using AI/R Group tools for logistics and supply chain management.
