About us.

Lingohub makes it easy to localize your mobile or web apps through seamless integration into the development process
The core of our team…
Helmut Juskewycz (CEO, founder) has previously worked at Runtastic, Jumio and Siemens VAI. He started Lingohub as a result of his own experiences with software localisation. He was joined by Christian Danner (CTO) and Markus Merzinger (cofounder), both experienced software engineers.
Our office in looks like…
Our office in the Linz TechCenter is a cozy headquarter with glass doors, close to the beautiful Danube river, with nice neighbors and lots of sunlight.
The person that inspires us most…
It’s not even a person, it’s the Babel Fish from The Hitchiker’s Guide to the Galaxy – the universal translator. We don’t intend to put an animal interpreter into everybody’s ear, but we want to power the interfaces that let entrepreneurs speak all languages.

About little steps and big dreams.

In five years we want to be…
