1
Thank you for coming in, Daniel.
2
You've got ten minutes, so do make them count.
3
Thank you. I'll get straight to the point.
4
We've built an app that helps small shops manage their stock.
5
Most shop owners still rely on pen and paper.
6
As a result, they lose money on unsold goods.
7
And how exactly does your app solve that?
8
It predicts what will sell, based on past sales.
9
Interesting. How many customers have you got so far?
10
Just over three hundred, all paying a monthly fee.
11
We launched eighteen months ago with only twelve.
12
That's healthy growth. What's your monthly revenue?
13
Currently around fifteen thousand pounds.
14
We expect that to double within a year.
15
That's quite a bold forecast.
16
What is it based on?
17
We've recently signed a deal with a national wholesaler.
18
They'll recommend us to four thousand shops.
19
Impressive. Are you making a profit yet?
20
Not yet, but we expect to break even by spring.
21
So how much are you hoping to raise?
22
Two hundred and fifty thousand pounds.
23
In return, we're offering a ten percent share.
24
That values the company at two and a half million.
25
It seems rather high for a business that isn't profitable.
26
I understand your concern.
27
However, our customers hardly ever leave us.
28
Ninety-five percent renew their subscription every year.
29
What would the money actually be spent on?
30
Mostly on hiring two more developers.
31
The rest would go towards marketing.
32
And what happens if a bigger competitor copies you?
33
They'd struggle, because our data has taken years to collect.
34
Well, you've clearly done your homework.
35
We'll need to look at your accounts in detail.
36
But I think it's fair to say we're interested.

Cos'è la tecnica dello Shadowing?
Shadowing è una tecnica di apprendimento delle lingue supportata da studi scientifici, originariamente sviluppata per la formazione dei traduttori professionisti e resa popolare dal poliglotta Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Il metodo è semplice ma potente: ascolti un audio in inglese di madrelingua e lo ripeti immediatamente ad alta voce — come un'ombra che segue il parlante con un ritardo di solo 1–2 secondi. A differenza dell'ascolto passivo o degli esercizi di grammatica, lo shadowing costringe il tuo cervello e i muscoli della bocca a elaborare e riprodurre simultaneamente i modelli di discorso reale. La ricerca dimostra che migliora significativamente la precisione della pronuncia, l'intonazione, il ritmo, il discorso connesso, la comprensione dell'ascolto e la fluidità del parlato — rendendolo uno dei metodi più efficaci per la preparazione alla prova di speaking dell'IELTS e per la comunicazione reale in inglese.
