Flat Capital AB (publ) ("Flat") is investing approximately SEK 5.4 million in DeepL, a German-based AI company that aims to eliminate language barriers worldwide using artificial intelligence (“AI”). DeepL offers multilingual automatic translation through its platform using AI neural machine learning that can be used via web browser, mobile app, browser extension or through integrated API. DeepL monetizes primarily on enterprise customers and by upgrading users. Other investors in DeepL include reputable players such as IVP, Atomico and Benchmark.
DeepL was founded in 2016 by CEO Jaroslaw Kutylowski with the vision of breaking down language barriers in the world and bringing cultures closer together. Today, DeepL offers its software globally to users and corporate clients with translations used in a wide range of fields; from technical and legal documents to customer support, marketing and product descriptions. DeepL's software has been consistently described as the most accurate AI translation technology across multiple language pairs and types of industries, helping DeepL become a recognized challenger to players like Google.
Hanna Wachtmeister, CEO comments:
"DeepL’s translation service is by own experience absolutely fantastic! It is estimated that organizations yearly spend $40 billion translating documents of all kinds, with less than 5% of translations being done through machine translation. We believe this will change, especially if that change is driven by high-tech challengers such as DeepL. Try it for yourself!"
The transaction is not expected to have a significant direct effect on Flat Capital's net asset value (“NAV”) compared to the last reported NAV as of 30 September 2022.
