Interview with Augustin Prot on Weglot, VC Funding and the Future


You can find Augustin on LinkedIn or Twitter. This is our recent interview with him, as part of our Kinsta Kingpin series. Q1: What is your background, & how did you first get involved with WordPress?
I have very complementary backgrounds with Rémy (co-founder and CTO of Weglot). He’s an engineer, graduated from Supéléc (French) and Columbia (US) with a background in software (financial and online ad) and a first startup experience as a co-founder and CTO. I graduated in Economics (from Dauphine) and spent 3 years in the financial services (Merger and acquisition advisory).
We first got involved with WordPress in the end of 2015/early 2016 when we were trying to find users to test Weglot. Some of the people we contacted asked us if we had a WordPress plugin. We did not know WordPress at this time. But as we heard the questions several times, we thought we should definitely try to do a plugin. Then, one month later we were at the Paris WordCamp 2016 to officially launch Weglot and meet the community, such a great time and amazing people!
That’s how we entered the WordPress world.
Q2: What should readers know about all the stuff you’re doing
