When EvenUp Co-Founder and COO Raymond Mieszaniec was a child, a catastrophic car accident left his father with a permanent disability. Like many immigrant families, this was Ray’s family’s first major experience with navigating the justice system. Pressured by the desire to end the years-long case sooner and pay the mounting bills, Ray’s family settled with the liable party’s insurance company for what seemed to be a satisfactory offer at the time.

In a world with thousands of languages and nuances across dialects, grammar, and cultures, transcending language barriers is critical for communication and commerce. The global market for language services generates of revenue annually and growing, spanning business needs including global trade, legal documentation, and media and entertainment. We believe the need for multilingual communication will only grow, driven by increasing globalization and remote work.
