My wife is a translator and I am a software developer. Over the past 6 months (in my free time) we have been building a web/cloud based Translation Management System.
We have found most of the existing systems to be over priced and too complicated, my potential solution will be offered to translators and agencies at a reasonable price and simplify the translation management process. The system will include a CRM, Quote, Invoice and workflow management system plus much more.

We are looking for investors to help fund the rest of the software development. i.e we will give you some equity i.e. you will own part of the software and continue to receive a percentage of the revenue for as long as you own the shares. This investment would be best suited for translation agencies who would use the end product and have input into how the system should work, but we are also open to smaller investors.

I'm happy to share my credentials and talk over the phone with serious investors. Please PM/Email me and I'll be in touch.

Regards,
Jean

Marketing at inception Jun 19, 2017

We translators are good at translation and creating TM.
We should not forget to move aggressively on marketing of what we want to sell.
Why not this forum open a corner to discuss deeply on how to market TM?
