Why I Built Talksie — And Who It's For
I've spent over a decade in B2B sales and management, working with companies that operate across borders. And in that time, I noticed something that nobody seemed to be fixing.
When businesses need an interpreter for something important — a legal deposition, a financial negotiation, a technical partnership meeting — they have two options.
Option one: use a traditional agency. Pay a 40–60% markup. Accept whoever they assign. Hope that person understands your industry.
Option two: search freelance platforms. Scroll through hundreds of profiles. Wonder if this person really knows the difference between a "preferred return" and an "IRR" in Mandarin.
Neither option is good enough for high-stakes B2B work.
That's why I built Talksie.
