Our take
DeepL is a deep tech company developing neural networks that help people work with languages. Committed to advancing precision and idiomatic comprehension in business translation.

Serving over 100,000 customers across media, education, transportation, and more, the company enhances communication efficiency across multinational teams and customer interactions via web apps, and integrated platforms, solidifying its industry position.
With funding, the launch of its new Write product, and the recent announcement of three additional languages to its platform, the company plans to expand globally, focusing on the US, Asia, and LATAM. As businesses prioritize accuracy, privacy, and security in translations, DeepL is well-positioned to meet the growing demand for specialised AI solutions in the enterprise sector.
