Prática de Shadowing: Announcing Profound's Series C: $96M at $1B Valuation - Aprenda a falar inglês com vídeo

Criando lição...
1
ProFounders raised $96 million at a $1 billion valuation to build a marketing platform for the age of AI.
2
Our round was led by Lightspeed Venture Partners alongside Sequoia Capital, Kleiner Perkins and Avantik.
3
Since we launched 18 months ago, we've had two core beliefs.
4
First, every marketer on the planet will care deeply about how AI talks about their brand, products or services.
5
Today, thousands of businesses, including 10% of the Fortune 500 and some of the biggest agencies on the planet,
6
rely on our platform to understand and control how their brand shows up in AI answers.
7
And we've gone on to become the number one leader in answer engine optimization on the G2 grid, which really showcases our obsession with building technology that our customers love.
8
Our second belief is that every marketer will use AI agents to do great work faster.
9
That's why today we're excited to announce Profound Agents.
10
The world's top companies have already embedded Profound Agents throughout their marketing teams,
11
from SEO to content to PR and even demand gen. And the results so far have been remarkable.
12
We believe that this level of depth will birth a new kind of marketer.
13
For instance, let's say a sentiment agent alerts us about a surge in negative chatter about our Salesforce integration.
14
So engineering ships a fix.
15
I orchestrate three highly autonomous, profound agents to directly influence AI's understanding of our updated integration.
16
The first agent creates positive user generated content by finding users benefiting from the new integration improvements
17
and drafting emails asking for authentic G2 reviews.
18
Another identifies the top-sided articles causing sentiment to drop, finds the authors, and then drafts personalized outreach with suggested positive corrections for the new integration.
19
And the final agent optimizes our own content by updating CMS articles to reflect the integration improvements
20
and then pings the content team for review once staged.
21
The best part?
22
Profound agents work within your existing tech stack because we've built partnerships with companies that you use daily.
23
Just like Gamma, which let agents take AEO data from Profound to create detailed reports and presentations to share with your team, saving you hours of time.
24
And with Sanity, reducing manual work by having AI agents draft and stage content directly near CMS.
25
So all you have to do is review and publish.
26
And Vercel V0, for demand gen teams who are bottlenecked by developer resources, can now ship highly relevant landing pages based on profound topics,
27
prompts and other data in just a matter of minutes.
28
Hundreds of teams at companies such as MongoDB, Figma and US Bank are now using profound agents on a daily basis to do more.
29
If you would like to try out one of the most popular Profound agents with no strings attached, simply comment the word agents below and I'll personally DM you access details.
30
By working across your stack, we believe that Profound agents are able to 10x the productivity of the modern marketer.
31
Engineers have cursor, lawyers have Harvey, and marketers have Profound.
32
Today, we're also excited to announce Profound University, a series of certifications, courses,
33
and cohort-based learning that will turn you into an expert in building, deploying, and managing agents.
34
Through education, events, and a sophisticated partnership program, we're building a global community of marketers that want to redefine the way they work.
35
Today's Series C announcement really is just the beginning.
36
We want to say thank you to our customers and partners for allowing us to be here today.
37
So, with all that said, let's get to work.

O que é a Técnica de Shadowing?

Shadowing é uma técnica de aprendizado de idiomas com base científica, originalmente desenvolvida para o treinamento de intérpretes profissionais. O método é simples, mas poderoso: você ouve áudio em inglês nativo e repete imediatamente em voz alta — como uma sombra seguindo o falante com 1-2 segundos de atraso. Pesquisas mostram melhora significativa na precisão da pronúncia, entonação, ritmo, sons conectados, compreensão auditiva e fluência na fala.
