DeepL...
is on a mission to create a world without language barriers.
As the world’s leading AI linguistics company, we enable businesses and consumers to better communicate with one another through the use of our language platform built on neural network machine learning. We are in the top 100 websites visited globally and trusted by over 1B people around the world for language services around translation, localization, and assisted writing. With every business and consumer communicating with one another, we are in a massive and ever-growing market.
We recently raised our $100M Series B at a $1B+ valuation, backed by world-class investors such as Benchmark, Bessemer Venture Partners, IVP, Atomico, btov, and WiL. We’re headquartered in Cologne, Germany, and we’re using this fresh funding and momentum to expand both our technology and our international presence, with our official launch into the US market.
Come be a part of our new US team and help us break down language barriers across the world!
