The story

Founded in 2016 in San Francisco as a vertical SaaS for language service providers (LSPs), Boostlingo built an interpretation management system plus on-demand OPI/VRI delivery — essentially 'Uber for interpreters.' After relocating to Austin in 2021, the company expanded from pure IMS to a two-sided network (Boostlingo Hub) and then into AI translation (Boostlingo AI Pro) in 2024, positioning itself as a human+AI unified language access platform. PE-backed per PitchBook, with no publicly disclosed VC rounds.
