Lingopal, a New York-based AI startup, specialises in real-time speech-to-speech translation, enabling live stream audio to be instantly translated into over 120 languages while maintaining each speakerās tone. In February 2025, the company raised $14 million in a Series A funding round led by DCM Ventures, with participation from Scrum Ventures, Marquee Ventures, and angel investors.
This funding will accelerate our mission to break down language barriers and connect the world in real time. We envision a future where language is no longer a barrier to communication, and Lingopal is at the forefront of making that a reality.

In addition to the funding, the company appears to have secured its Exact Brand Match (EBM) domain, Lingopal.com, which currently redirects to Lingopal.ai. The .ai extension is popular among tech startups due to its association with āArtificial Intelligenceā and its greater availability compared to .com domains. .ai is actually a country code top-level domain (ccTLD) for Anguilla, a fact many AI-focused businesses overlook, along with the potential risks it may pose for their brands. While an industry-specific domain can help attract customers, it may also limit growth as the company expands into new markets or services.
By acquiring Lingopal.com, the company enhances its credibility and ensures greater accessibility for users searching for its brand online. A .com domain remains the most intuitive and widely recognised choice, reinforcing brand identity while eliminating potential security risks and traffic leaks.
As AI perceptions shift, brands that reduce their emphasis on it can build stronger trust and connections with their audiences. Our article Beyond the Buzzword: Why āAIā No Longer Wows Consumers explores why companies should rethink their reliance on the term āAIā and adapt their strategies to stay relevant.
