There are more than 100 languages spoken by millions of people, and fewer than 5% of the world speaks English. So while modern technology helps companies build diverse global teams and serve international customers, there are still immense language barriers to overcome. Founder and CEO Ben Lang saw this first hand in his years as a global leader in military special operations, national intelligence, and product development. Whether someone was unable to be quickly understood, or had to resort to a more basic level of vocabulary for their non-native tongue, people felt frustrated and discouraged.
If only there were a Star Trek-like Universal Translator! Real-time. With high accuracy. And able to keep a business’s business private and secure.
And that’s just what Native has built, starting with text and chat communications, and aided by the latest advances in AI, computing power, and security.
We built it for us…and we built it for you.
At Native we believe language diversity is an asset and that everyone should be empowered to communicate with the confidence and authenticity of their native language. Our mission to eliminate language barriers will elevate billions of new voices to the global stage, unlock access to information in any language, and change the way we view markets, opportunities, and talent.
