THE STORY
The conceptual seeds of lexiQA were sown back in 2013 when Yannis realised that there is a gap in the localization industry. After various iterations together with the other two co-founders, the idea started taking solid form in 2015. Eventually lexiQA was incorporated as a company in the UK in January 2016, having secured an initial round of direct investment from Pi Campus and LVenture Group in Rome, Italy. Since then it has been steadily growing and developing its innovative solution for the global market.
