Bluente is a Singapore-based technology company founded in 2021 by Daphne Tay Yi Ling and Zhi Gang Kho. Initially launched as a business-focused language learning app, the company has since pivoted to an AI-powered document translation platform. The platform is designed for professional use, enabling businesses and individuals to translate documents into over 120 languages while preserving the original formatting, including text, images, and tables.
The company's core service addresses the need for fast and accurate translation of complex documents such as legal contracts, financial reports, and presentations. Bluente's proprietary system utilizes advanced neural networks and specialized terminology databases to achieve high accuracy, particularly in technical fields like law and finance. Clients, which include law firms, financial institutions, and Fortune 500 companies, report saving up to 75% in costs and 90% in processing time compared to traditional translation methods. The service operates on a subscription-based model, with plans available for individual professionals and enterprise clients.
The idea for Bluente originated from co-founder Daphne Tay's personal experiences while working at Bain, where she encountered challenges with language barriers when communicating with clients and found existing translation tools inadequate for technical business terms. This led to the creation of a platform focused on industry-specific vocabulary before evolving into its current form as a comprehensive document translation solution. The company has secured funding from investors including Venturra Capital, Informed Ventures, GSR, and Google for Startups, raising a total of $2.11M as of July 2025. These funds are intended to support expansion into the Middle East, the US, and other markets in the Asia Pacific region.
