VEASYT

What VEASYT does

VEASYT is an Italy-based digital services company founded in 2012 as a spin-off of Università Ca' Foscari Venezia, headquartered in Venice. The company specializes in remote video interpretation services in Italian Sign Language (LIS), operating the VEASYT Live! platform that connects deaf individuals with professionally vetted LIS interpreters in real time via smartphone, tablet, or computer. A secondary product, VEASYT Tour, delivers accessible multimedia guides (text, audio, LIS) for museums and cultural sites. The technology stack centers on a proprietary real-time video routing platform accessible via mobile app, web browser, and on-site kiosks/QR codes, with Italian-language security and quality certifications (ISO 9001:2015, ISO 27001:2024, ISO 27017:2015, ISO 27018:2019) and ACN Cloud Marketplace qualification.

VEASYT operates a multi-channel B2B, B2G, and B2C revenue model. The B2B segment contracts with large Italian enterprises — Trenitalia/Gruppo FS Italiane (23+ train stations), TIM, Decathlon, Unipol, ENEL, ENI, Generali — for accessible customer service and workplace inclusion programs. The B2G segment contracts with healthcare authorities (multiple ULSS/AULSS bodies, Regione Lombardia's Lombardia LIS program, AIFA, IOV oncology center), municipalities (Comune di Padova, Treviso, Roma Capitale), and emergency services (AREU Lombardia ambulances), procured primarily via Sintel and MePA public-procurement platforms. A usage-based consumer tier (VEASYT Live! app) and a one-time licensing tier for tourism (VEASYT Tour at venues such as Teatro La Fenice) round out the revenue mix. Pricing is opaque and quote-based.

Operationally the company is unusually lean: 1-10 employees, share capital of €16,087.51, and total disclosed funding of approximately €211,000 (a €41,000 Regione Veneto grant in 2012 and a €170,000 seed round from BAN Veneto in December 2013). The organization has been self-funded for over a decade while accumulating a blue-chip enterprise and government reference base across all 20 Italian regions. No revenue figures, headcount growth, or subsequent funding rounds are publicly disclosed.

Scale indicators6 records

Recent moves7 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Broad incumbents

• LanguageLine Solutions: The world's largest on-demand interpretation provider, offering video remote interpretation including sign language across multiple languages. Directly comparable to VEASYT in the interpretation-as-a-service model but at vastly greater scale and geographic reach, and without LIS-specific specialization.

Direct peers

• Sorenson Communications: Leading US provider of video relay services (VRS) and on-demand sign language interpretation for the deaf and hard-of-hearing community. Closest functional analog to VEASYT in delivering professional sign-language interpreters via real-time video, though focused on ASL and the US market.
• Stratus Video (AMN Healthcare Language Services): Major provider of video remote interpretation including American Sign Language for healthcare and enterprise customers. Comparable to VEASYT in offering scheduled and on-demand video interpretation integrated into client workflows (hospitals, governments, enterprises).
• Purple Communications: US-based provider of video relay and on-demand sign language interpretation services for the deaf community. Operates a similar interpreter-network-plus-platform model to VEASYT, focused on ASL.
• SignVideo (UK): UK provider of on-demand British Sign Language video interpretation connecting deaf individuals with BSL interpreters via video call. The closest international functional analog to VEASYT, serving healthcare, government, and enterprise customers in a single national market.
• ZVRS (Z videophone Relay Service): US provider of video relay and on-demand sign language interpretation services for the deaf and hard-of-hearing, with a strong interpreter network and quality focus. Similar operating model to VEASYT in prioritizing qualified interpreters and professional service delivery.
• Convo Relay: US-based video relay service for the deaf community providing on-demand ASL interpretation, with additional workplace and VRS offerings. Comparable to VEASYT in the consumer-enterprise hybrid GTM and emphasis on interpreter quality.

Emerging players

• Rogervoice: French app and service that enables deaf and hard-of-hearing individuals to make phone calls via live transcription and (in some contexts) sign language interpretation. A more consumer-leaning comparable to VEASYT Live!, with overlapping accessibility technology orientation.
• HandTalk: Brazilian sign language translation platform using an AI avatar and human interpreters to translate between Portuguese and Brazilian Sign Language. Comparable to VEASYT in sign-language focus and a mobile/web app delivery model, with a different technology mix (avatar-led).
• Ava: Real-time captioning and accessibility platform for meetings and conversations, including support for deaf and hard-of-hearing users. Adjacent to VEASYT in serving accessibility-driven communication needs for enterprise and education customers, but using AI captioning rather than human sign language interpreters.
