Company Summary

MotaWord uses proprietary crowdsourcing algorithms to automate human translation. The customer gets back bespoke human-performed translation, but 20x faster, at 60% less cost. We translate any format to/from 75 languages in less time than it takes most agencies to secure a translator & provide a quote. Our security protocols exceed industry norm. We are already in market, with recurring revenues from Fortune 50 customers and start-ups alike.

Team

  • COO

    Boston Consulting Group (10 years) - consumer goods, retail, health care - strategy consultant with bias toward operationalizing new strategies (vs. blue sky strategy) and sales force effectiveness

    TPG Capital Operations Group (6 years) - health care, retail apparel - generalist with revenue bias, serving as interim COO, GM, chief-of-staff and leading value creation plan, turnaround and growth plans

  • Founder and CEO

    15 years' experience starting and running a successful traditional translation and interpretation agency (Link Translations). Link is still operating profitably and sends to MotaWord all of the inbound requests for document translation (i.e., Link is a feeder, not a competitor, to MotaWord).

  • Co-Founder and Lead Developer

    Oytun is a seven-year veteran of the translation industry, originally with Link Translations, then helping MotaWord's founder, Evren Ay, to code the proof-of-concept and add all of the valuable product enhancements and extensions we enjoy today. His software fluency and rapid-response agility led MotaWord to develop our API, extensions for chrome, Drive, drupal, etc and webgrabbers in less than twelve months.
