What Youpret does

Youpret Oy is a Finland-domiciled private company founded in 2016 that operates an AI-driven interpretation and translation brokering platform connecting customers with a network of more than 1,000 professional interpreters and translators across 120+ languages. Its core product is the Youpret mobile application and web platform, which automate interpreter matching, scheduling, reporting, and billing, with open APIs for integration into customers' financial administration and HR systems. The service portfolio spans scheduled remote interpretation (phone/video), on-demand quick interpretation, on-site in-person interpretation, secure document translation, and a newer AI interpretation feature (Youpret Translate / Tekoälytulkkaus) for real-time text- and speech-based translation.

Youpret serves two primary customer segments: (1) public-sector and government organizations in Finland requiring certified interpretation for social insurance, municipal services, welfare areas, immigration, and employment services, and (2) businesses and enterprises requiring professional interpretation for client meetings, HR matters, and international operations, with secondary exposure in social/healthcare, legal, and tourism verticals. Revenue is generated via usage-based and per-transaction pricing: €28.80 per 30-minute scheduled remote session, €1.70 per started minute for on-demand interpretation, and €75+ per hour for on-site interpretation, all plus Finnish VAT. The company is the first B Corp certified language services company in the Nordic countries, was funded by Gorilla Capital in 2020, and receives non-dilutive support from Finnish Structural Funds/ELY Centre. Its operational scale - 1,000+ daily assignments and 24/7 availability across 120+ languages - is delivered by a lean team of 1-10 internal employees, indicating a marketplace model where the platform layers automation and a consumer-grade self-serve experience over a distributed interpreter supply network.
