Our innovative pricing algorithm and matchmaking platform has doubled customer satisfaction in the industry and was described by TechNode and China Daily as disrupting an industry desperate for innovation. Based in Beijing and Seattle with 8 FTEs. Our business model is an 80/20 revenue share.

    Our Management Team

    Cadence's cofounders are Michigan, Penn and Stanford educated. With extensive backgrounds in investment banking, consulting, VC and international business; we too were once business travelers to China whose professional success hinged on the quality of the interpreters we hired.

    Matchmaking and Price Efficiency

    Never before has an interpretation company drawn the supply and demand curves and developed technology to automate the process. We'll give you an instant, customized quote.

    80/20 Revenue Split

    This allows for unprecedented "take home" for the interpreter while leaving Cadence with enough fuel to keep the lights on and grow our platform.
