An ex-banker and a developer turned translation into SEO real estate — indexable /fr/ pages. Bootstrapped to $11M ARR.
Will it work? · our read

The Weglot story — founders' own origin account: first 15-euro sale, 20 early customers.Weglot: our $50M growth investment — company blog: profitable, 25K paying customers.Slator (2022) — EUR 10M / $11M ARR at end of 2021.TechCrunch (2022) — $50M Series A from Partech after a small 2017 seed.Weglot on WordPress.org — free plugin, 100,000+ active installs (the distribution channel).
Revenue = $11M ARR at the 2021 Series A (Weglot's own blog + Slator, first-party); post-2021 ARR isn't disclosed, so today's figure is likely higher but unstated. Prices shown are USD conversions of EUR list prices. Rival weights and the "distribution is the real moat" read are our interpretation, not company claims. We never score you.
