We are usually the last piece of the puzzle for any Polish startup trying to go global.
You have a product or a service ready to start blowing people’s socks off worldwide, except they don’t speak Polish and your company sounds like an English philology grad with, if you’re lucky, a semester of Work-and-Travel USA under their belt. You think you sound cool, but you only sound awkward and occasionally funny… but not in a good way.
That’s where we come in. We are not Polish English-philology grads! Because of the work we do with English and its meaning combined with our business backgrounds, we consider ourselves a bit like language wizards, although we will settle for experts.
What we do for startups is we make them sound natural and sometimes even cool – but most importantly natural. If you’re Polish, imagine an ad or a website or a magazine article written by an American – but in Polish. Now you know how English speakers feel when they read your communication not created or edited by a native language expert. Not to be the bearer of bad news but it likely hurts your credibility and casts a very bad light on whatever awesome thing you’re really good at. Face it, with so much info zooming past us, we don’t want to focus hard to comprehend what the foreign-language-speaking author had in mind.
At 360 Y.E.S, we are freaks when it comes to language correctness and smoothness and this is probably why some of Poland’s top startups have trusted us with their English content. The list includes Listonic (http://www.listonic.com/content/en/ – since 2014) and Nightly (https://nightly.co/ – since 2017).
If you have or plan to have English content, get in touch with us. We’ll give you a free audit and let you know how you stack up. Maybe you don’t need us, but then at least you can sleep easy that you’re not shooting yourself in the foot while trying to rock the world.
