Translation And Copywriting Platform TextMaster Scores $5M In New Funding
Summary
The company, which was co-founded by ‘startup studio’ Efounders, originally pitched itself as a crowdsourced alternative to traditional translation and other copywriting services, something that I previously described as similar to Amazon’s Mechanical Turk but for a very specific niche. It offers a platform, including an API and various integrations, such as WordPress, Magento, Transifex, and Microsoft Office, to connect content creators to freelance copywriting/editing professionals who have each gone through a quality vetting process and are paid per-word. That makes a lot of competition even though they’re providing translation services the old fashion way,” TextMaster CEO Thibault Lougnon tells me. We’re also working on new exciting features that will make it even simpler to order professional translation online.” Interestingly, Lougnon isn’t one of TextMaster’s original founders, nor its first CEO. Instead he took over from co-founder and previous CEO Benoit Laurent two years ago, who I understand left the startup and is thought to be no longer a shareholder.
