Build with Linglo
Build with Linglo
We're building the future of cross-cultural communication. If you can create value, there's a place for you.
Why build here, not there
Early, on purpose
Linglo has real, paying users today — small enough that one good idea can visibly move the numbers.
You keep the receipts
What you ship is public: a real product, real users, a portfolio that isn't a PDF.
Paid, not volunteered
Missions come with budget or revenue share. This isn't for exposure.
No queue to prove yourself in
Propose something real, we review it fast, you start building — not a hiring pipeline.

Open missions
Real problems we haven't solved yet. Instead of a job description, here's what's actually broken.
Improve first-week retention
OpenMost new members try Linglo once and don't come back in their first week. The first conversation is the make-or-break moment, and we haven't cracked how to make more of them happen.
- Expected KPI
- Move Day-7 retention meaningfully above current baseline
- Reward
- Negotiated per proposal
- Timeline
- Propose your own — we care about the result, not a fixed sprint
- Owner
- Linglo core team
- Difficulty
- High
Grow organic discovery
OpenMost people find Linglo through app stores, not search. The marketing site barely ranks for anything outside our own brand name.
- Expected KPI
- Grow non-brand organic search traffic to linglo.app
- Reward
- Negotiated per proposal
- Timeline
- Propose your own
- Owner
- Linglo core team
- Difficulty
- Medium
Seed a language community
OpenSome languages have plenty of learners but too few native speakers to match with, or the reverse. This needs real community-building in a specific language, not another growth hack.
- Expected KPI
- Grow active, mutually-matched conversations in one language pair
- Reward
- Negotiated per proposal
- Timeline
- Propose your own
- Owner
- Linglo core team
- Difficulty
- Medium
Pitch your idea
No application form. Send a proposal — we read every one.

Builder wall
Empty for now — on purpose. Every mission that ships gets a name attached to it, starting with whoever picks the first one.
Questions
Do I need experience?
No fixed years-of-experience bar. We care about what you can actually ship, not what your resume says.
Do I need a portfolio?
No. A clear proposal is enough to start the conversation — what you build here becomes the portfolio.
Can students get involved?
Yes. Some missions, especially community and university ones, are a great fit for students.
Can companies get involved?
Yes — partnerships and integrations are welcome.
Can I propose my own idea?
Yes, that's the point. Use the pitch template above — it doesn't need to match an open mission.
How do payments work?
Depends on the mission: freelance payment, revenue share, or a longer-term partnership. Terms are agreed before you start, not after.
Open to working together.
Paid work, revenue share, or a longer-term partnership — whatever fits the opportunity. If there's a way to build something together, we want to hear it.
