LingoHub

What LingoHub does

LingoHub GmbH is an Austrian SaaS company, founded in 2012 in Linz by Helmut Juskewycz (CEO) and Markus Merzinger (Senior Developer), that operates a cloud-based Translation Management System (TMS) for software, SaaS, and content teams localizing web apps, mobile apps, and digital content. The platform combines CAT (Computer-Assisted Translation) tools — translation memory, term base/glossary, style guide, and quality checks — with a web-based online editor, automated pre-translation via DeepL, Google, AWS, and Microsoft MT engines, and a 30+ integration ecosystem spanning Git providers (GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, Azure DevOps), design (Figma), headless CMS (Storyblok, Contentful), and helpdesk (Zendesk, Intercom). It also offers LLM-powered AI features via OpenAI and AWS Bedrock (contextual translation, content suggestions, post-editing), an iOS/Android SDK with over-the-air updates, a public REST API and CLI, and a marketplace of professional translation services in 40+ languages.

The product is delivered as a multi-tenant SaaS hosted on AWS in the EU (Ireland), with SOC 2 Type 2, ISO 27001, and GDPR compliance supporting enterprise procurement. Commercial go-to-market is hybrid: a self-serve product-led motion with a 14-day free trial and four pricing tiers (Starter €45/mo, Team €115/mo, Pro €345/mo, Enterprise from €999/mo), augmented by an enterprise field-sales motion for SSO/SAML, SCIM, on-premises, and custom deployments, plus a 50%-commission promoter/affiliate channel. The customer base spans software/SaaS companies (Runtastic/adidas, Storyblok, Rocket.Chat, Tractive, Flightradar24, PlanRadar, Chipolo, TELUS Agriculture) plus SMBs and project-based buyers, with 100M+ text segments managed across 20+ countries.

The business is privately held, bootstrapped after two small 2012 seed rounds (€80K tech2b Inkubator and ~$100K), and operates with approximately 15–20 employees. Revenue is not publicly disclosed; pricing structure, headcount, and the absence of institutional funding since 2012 imply a capital-efficient, sub-scale-to-mid-scale SaaS profile.
