EBRU YILDIRIM GUL AND OLLANG: ENTERPRISE LANGUAGE OPERATIONS FOR COMPANIES THAT ARE GLOBAL FROM DAY ONE
Ebru Yildirim Gul is building OLLANG to power enterprise language operations — enabling companies to go global from day one rather than waiting until after they've grown.
Global expansion used to be a late-stage luxury: first domestic scale, then translation budgets, then localized support. That sequencing is breaking down. Products launch on the internet simultaneously everywhere; customers expect native-language experiences early; compliance and customer success require multilingual operations earlier than ever. Language becomes a bottleneck not because companies lack ambition, but because language workflows are fragmented across vendors, tools, and internal teams.
OLLANG provides the language infrastructure that lets the next generation of companies operate across markets without language being a barrier to growth. At Series A with generating revenue, OLLANG sits in a category where buyers evaluate vendors on throughput, quality consistency, security, and integration depth — not on slogans.
Gul's thesis captures a shift in how companies are born: the next generation will not "go global" after success. They will be global by default, and their growth curves will depend on whether language operations can scale like any other core business system.
OLLANG is a bet that enterprise language will mature from a services-heavy patchwork into software-led operations — and that the winning platform will align incentives around measurable outcomes: speed, accuracy, and the ability to support the full lifecycle of customer communication.
