Our company was selected as one of the 9 startups to pitch directly to a panel of judges at the Echelon Japan Satellite. Conyac for Business was the 3rd participant to pitch at the event, and even though we didn't win, we enjoyed watching other startup's presentations. They inspired us and gave us a better idea of what we should focus on in the future in order to continue the rapid growth in Asia.
The winner was TopAdmit, a Taiwan-based educational startup that provides a professional essay editing services for students. Congratulations to them and we hope to see them win the final Echelon competition!
If you missed the Satellites, you can still meet Conyac Team at the Echelon Startup Marketplace in Singapore.
作为入选的9个新创团队之一,我们直接在Echelon创业竞赛Satellite热身赛日本站的评委们面前介绍公司。康雅克商务翻译(Conyac for Business) 在此次竞赛中是第三个登场的。即使没有获胜,观看其他新创团队的展示对我们来说也是一种享受。受到他们的启发,我们有了更好的想法,即为了在亚洲继续快速发展,我们在未来应关注于什么。
获胜者是TopAdmit。这是一个台湾教育团队,为学生们提供专业的文件编辑服务。祝贺他们,希望他们能在决赛中获胜。
如果你错过了Satellites热身赛,你仍然可以在新加坡举行的Echelon Startup Marketplace竞赛中见到康雅克(Conyac)团队。
This is what Startup Dating's Rick Martin wrote about our CEO's pitch:
"We’ve heard from Conyac a few times before, so regular readers are likely somewhat familiar with this service. Naoki Yamada pitched the startups offering for business, explaining that their crowdsourced translation solution can provide quick translations for businesses for a low price. As a typical business use case, he gave the example of a 10-slide powerpoint presentation, which was translated in five hours and cost $36. In comparison to competing services, Naoki explained that on their platform translators can be educated by more experienced translators, thus giving them an opportunity to improve themselves."
启动约会 (Startup Dating) 的里克•马丁 (Rick Martin) 写了关于我们CEO的决定:
“我们以前听说过几次Conyac了,所以固定读者可能在某种程度上熟悉此服务。山田直树决定这些初创公司提供业务,并解释他们的众包翻译解决方案可以以低廉的价格为企业提供快速的翻译。作为一个典型的商业使用者,他举出了10张PowerPoint幻灯片演示文稿翻译的例子,这翻译在五个小时内完成了,成本36美元。与其它具竞争性服务商相比,直树解释说,在他们的平台上资深译员可以指导其他译员,从而给他们一个机会来提升自己。”
