Unbabel is an artificial intelligence powered human translation platform. With headquarters in Lisbon, Portugal, and San Francisco, California, the company is focused on the translation of customer service communications. Its customers include easyJet, Booking.com, Rovio Entertainment, Under Armour, Pinterest, and Facebook.

Unbabel combines Neural Machine Translation with machine learning and a crowdsourced model to differentiate itself from other translation service providers. The name Unbabel is derived from the biblical story of Babel.

History

Unbabel was founded in August 2013 by Vasco Pedro, Joao Graça, Sofia Pessanha, Bruno Silva, and Hugo Silva and was incubated by Y Combinator in late 2014. The company officially launched in March 2014.[1]

In May 2014, Unbabel raised a $1.5 million Seed round to support the growth and development of its translation platform, receiving investment from prominent venture capital firms and business angels including Google Ventures, Matrix Partners, Caixa Capital,[2] Faber Ventures, IDG Ventures, Digital Garage, Shilling Capital Partners, Wefunder, FundersClub, Elad Gil[3] and Raymond Tonsing.[4][5][6]

In early 2015, Unbabel was recognized as one of Y Combinator’s fastest growing Seed stage companies.[7] In late 2016, Unbabel raised $5 million from lead investors Notion Capital and Caixa Capital.[8]

In early 2018, Unbabel raised $23 million in Series B funding, led by Scale Venture Partners and Notion Capital, bringing its total venture capital funding to $31.2 million.[9] The company is privately held.
