The multilingual meeting platform powered by the largest network of conference interpreters was awarded honors in global business, audio video and the events industry for its outstanding tech, service and breakthrough innovation.
(Thursday, November 11, New York City, NY) – KUDO, a SaaS multilingual meeting platform that makes it possible for virtual meeting and event attendees around the world to communicate across languages has been selected by TIME Magazine as one of the groundbreaking inventions of 2021 for its Marketplace solution. Launched in January 2021, KUDO Marketplace offers on-demand booking of KUDO’s network of 12,000+ vetted professional interpreters on leading video conferencing platforms.
“Online videoconferencing can make it easy to connect with people all over the world—provided, of course, that everyone speaks the same language. KUDO Marketplace, a scheduling tool tied to a Zoom-like platform, takes care of that,” notes TIME.
Co-founded by entrepreneur Fardad Zabetian, former UN Chief Interpreter Ewandro Magalhaes, and serial technologist Parham Akhavan, the New York based start-up developed the biggest technological innovation in interpreting since the Nuremberg Trials when the simultaneous mode was officially adopted. KUDO was recognized with six awards this year for its outstanding tech, service and breakthrough innovation.
