Singapore-based Bluente, a fast-growing language translation platform, has raised USD 1.5 million in a seed-plus round led by Informed Ventures. The fresh capital will fuel global expansion, hiring, and product development, with a special focus on the Middle East, US, and Asia-Pacific.
Targeting High-Growth Regions
Founder Daphne Tay highlighted why these markets are strategic:
“These regions have the highest concentration of international firms and users dealing with cross-border transactions. They’re also where our multilingual capabilities, especially in Arabic and Asian languages, give us a clear advantage.”
By focusing on hubs with strong cross-border activity, Bluente is positioning itself as a go-to solution for global enterprises, law firms, and government agencies.
What Sets Bluente Apart
Bluente is tackling one of the biggest productivity hurdles for global professionals—manual translation and document reformatting. Traditional translation tools often leave users spending hours fixing layouts and correcting errors. Bluente’s platform changes that with a one-click solution that ensures translations retain original formatting.
Key features include:
- ✅ Support for 120+ languages – including Mandarin, Japanese, French, German, and Arabic
- ✅ Formatting precision – maintains layout across text, tables, images, numbers, and units
- ✅ Enterprise-grade accuracy – trusted by more than 70 enterprise clients, including Fortune 500 companies, law firms, and government agencies
- ✅ Subscription-based model – built for scalability and recurring value
By eliminating the need for copy-pasting and manual rework, Bluente claims it can save companies thousands of hours annually, letting professionals focus on higher-value tasks.
Funding to Fuel the Next Phase
The seed-plus round provides Bluente with the resources to:
- Expand regionally and globally – accelerate entry into Middle Eastern and US markets
- Hire top talent – grow teams in engineering, product, and business development
- Enhance product features – strengthen partnerships and expand integrations
- Scale marketing efforts – boost visibility in competitive markets
This combination of product-led growth and strategic expansion could help Bluente capture a significant share of the global enterprise translation market, which continues to expand alongside digital globalization.
Solving a Global Problem
The demand for seamless multilingual communication is skyrocketing as businesses operate across borders. Bluente’s solution addresses a very real bottleneck:
- International contracts that must be translated quickly and accurately
- Cross-border financial documents requiring zero formatting errors
- Government and legal documents where precision is critical
By offering both speed and accuracy at scale, Bluente positions itself as more than a translation tool—it’s a productivity platform for international business.
Looking Ahead
With strong enterprise adoption and a clear competitive edge in multilingual capabilities, Bluente is well-positioned to expand globally. Its Middle East entry, in particular, aligns with rising demand for Arabic-focused translation tools among international firms operating in the region.
As cross-border transactions increase, Bluente’s mission is simple:
save time, eliminate errors, and make global communication effortless.
