History
Smartcat was originally developed in 2012–2015 as a CAT tool for in-house use by ABBYY Language Solutions, a linguistic service provider within the ABBYY group of companies. The parent company became a resident of the Skolkovo accelerator in 2011. The SaaS service was launched in 2014 in beta.
In 2016, Smartcat spun out of ABBYY LS to become a separate company and attracted $2.8 million in investments from Ilya Shirokov, ex-CEO at Odnoklassniki and founder of Yandex-acquired social network MoiKrug.ru.
In 2018, Smartcat raised 7 million in Series A from Matrix Partners.
As of May 2020, the platform has more than 300,000 freelance and corporate suppliers on its marketplace and provides an “app store” allowing users to integrate their Smartcat account with third-party solutions.
