AI translation tech Palabra gets backing from Reddit co-founder’s venture firm


Alexis Ohanian and his firm Seven Seven Six are backing Palabra, which is working on a translation engine.

The round also saw participation from Creator Ventures along with individual investors, including Instacart co-founder Max Mullen; former a16z partner Anne Lee Skates; former DeepMind Head of Product at Mehdi Ghissassi; and Namat Bahram.
