Tolingo operates an online translation platform offering access to over 2,500 certified translators online at any one time across 26 specialized translation categories. Customers can select preselections such as medicine, marketing, law, finance or business and are allocated a specialist translator; translations are proof-read twice. The company emphasizes speed — its platform “significantly increases translation speed” — and a price point about 40% cheaper than small translation agencies, according to the CEO. Tolingo was founded in 2008 and is led by 24‑year‑old founder and CEO Hanno von der Decken. The company competes with services such as Livetranslation.com and mygengo. Management intends to use new funding to expand further in Europe and internationally.
