Ivan Smolnikov is the founder of Smartcat (2016), which spun out of ABBYY. Smartcat's mission is to make translations better for everyone. The platform connects linguists, companies, and language service providers (LSPs) across the globe to streamline the translation of any content into every language on demand. You can use our platform to build and manage translation teams and get your translation management automated like an autopilot.
As of September 2020, the platform has more than 350,000 freelancers in its marketplace and provides an "app store" that allows users to integrate their Smartcat account with third-party tools.
