AI can translate your IPO or ESG report—but can it do it right? Colin Hong, Co-Founder of DeepTranslate, reveals how his Hong Kong startup outperforms Google Translate and ChatGPT in the most high-stakes corner of translation: finance and legal compliance.

  • Why niche AI is the only way to beat Big Tech
  • The hidden 20% translation gap that LLMs miss
  • How data compliance fears hold back corporate AI adoption
  • Cashflow discipline and hard lessons from startup life
