About Sensedia

Founded in 2007 in Campinas, Brazil, Sensedia has established itself as a global provider of API-centric solutions. The company was started by Kleber Bacili and Marcilio Oliveira, whose journey began symbolically with a Kombi van, which now sits at their headquarters as a reminder of their origins. Bacili, the current CEO, holds a degree in Computer Engineering from Unicamp and an MBA from FGV, with further studies in entrepreneurship at Stanford University. Oliveira, the Chief of Growth, has a Master's in Software Engineering from the University of Campinas and a background as a research lead at the university's innovation lab.

Sensedia's business focuses on providing a technology platform and expert services for modern integration, assisting enterprises in becoming more digital, connected, and open. The company serves over 200 large enterprise clients across various sectors, including financial services, retail, insurance, and healthtech. Its business model revolves around its API Management Platform and professional services that cover the full lifecycle of API management, from strategy and design to security and governance. Revenue is generated through these platform subscriptions and service contracts, helping clients to integrate digital channels, modernize legacy systems, and build new partner ecosystems.

The core offering is the Sensedia API Management Platform, an enterprise-grade solution designed to manage, distribute, and secure APIs and microservices. Key features include full lifecycle API management, a developer portal to facilitate partner onboarding, advanced security and governance capabilities, and analytics for monitoring performance. The platform also offers specialized solutions like an AI Gateway to manage integrations with artificial intelligence providers, an Events Hub for real-time event distribution, and a dedicated Open Finance solution compliant with standards like FDX. A notable milestone was a significant investment of R$120 million (approximately $21 million USD) in May 2021, led by Riverwood Capital, to fuel global expansion into markets like the United States and Europe.
