“Let’s cut to the chase – in the startup world, your English skills are just as important as your coding skills or business model. I’ve seen way too many talented founders with groundbreaking ideas get passed over simply because they couldn’t communicate their vision effectively. It’s brutal, but here’s reality: investors aren’t just buying into your product, they’re buying into YOU. And if there’s a language barrier, you’re automatically starting at a disadvantage.
Think about it – all the best startup playbooks, the most valuable networking events, the crucial investor meetings… they’re all happening in English. That pitch deck you spent weeks perfecting? Worthless if you can’t deliver it with confidence. Those subtle negotiation tactics? Lost in translation.
But here’s the good news: unlike raising capital or developing tech, improving your English is 100% within your control. And the payoff? Massive. Suddenly you’re accessing deal flow, insights and connections that were invisible before. You’re not just another founder – you’re a founder who can play on the global stage. So ask yourself: is your English holding you back from your full potential?”
