How I built $2B AI Translation Startup | DeepL, Jarek Kutylowski Today's story is about Jarek Kutylowski, the CEO of DeepL. DeepL is a platform that provides highquality machine translation and AIbased writing tools, supporting multilingual communication for businesses. It was also one of the few companies to develop a product based on AI long before AI became widely popular. Recently, it concluded a fundraising round with a valuation of $2 billion. Jarek, the CEO, moved from Poland to Germany during his childhood. He didn't speak a word of German. Although it was only a few months, Jarek remembers that time vividly. Later, after completing his PhD and working, he discovered that European companies were spending significant amounts due to language barriers. Speed was important to him, and the company grew rapidly. This video contains insights into DeepL's strategy and decisionmaking to stay ahead of the competition at a fast pace.Pitch your tech startup to top investors in Silicon Valley!Calling upon founders building something cool Join us on Dec. 19th in San Francisco for [Pitch.tech], special opportunity sponsored by .Tech Domains to empower the next batch of innovators in tech.Learn more 👉🏻 : https://go.tech/pitchtech100:00 Intro00:56 Sponsor01:47 Chapter 1.
