Our Story

MadCap Flare documentation samples

2005

Founded in 2005, MadCap Software emerged from the talented developers at eHelp, known for their work on the renowned help authoring tool, RoboHelp and software simulation tool Captivate. Following eHelp's acquisition by Macromedia in 2003, these developers sought new opportunities. MadCap's founding CEO, Anthony Olivier, formerly the CEO of eHelp, recognized the potential to build a next generation authoring solution using a more modern technology based on XML.

MadCap Lingo, an XML-based, fully integrated translation memory system and authoring tool, eliminates the need for file transfers to complete translation. As a result, documentation and localization professionals no longer have to risk losing valuable content and formatting.
