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.
FOR YOU

關於本課
在今天的學習中,您將通過觀看一段關於Profound公司獲得融資的資訊性影片來練習英語聽說能力。本課旨在幫助您提高理解技術領域相關對話的能力,並練習如何用流利的英語表達想法。您將能夠通過模仿影片中講解者的語速和語調,來增強您的發音和口語技巧。這是一次很好的機會,結合聽力練習和口語練習,提升您的英語能力。
關鍵詞彙與短語
- 營銷平臺 (marketing platform)
- 人工智慧 (AI)
- 品牌 (brand)
- 使用者生成內容 (user generated content)
- 情感代理 (sentiment agent)
- 整合 (integration)
- 內容最佳化 (content optimization)
- 生產力 (productivity)
練習技巧
在練習時,建議您使用shadow speak的方法對照影片進行模仿。影片中的講解者語速較快,因此可以將影片分成幾個部分,逐段進行跟讀。注意語調和重音,儘量模仿講解者的口音和語氣。開始時,可以把速度調慢,以更好地理解和模仿各個單詞。隨著練習的深入,逐步提高速度,以接近原影片的語速。
同時,可以結合看YouTube學英語的方式,通過重複觀看來提高記憶。如果某些短語或表達方式讓您覺得困難,請專注於這些部分,並多次重複,直到您感到舒適為止。這樣做會有助於您在實際交流中更自然地使用這些專業術語,並在英語口語練習中不斷增強自信心。
最後,參與對話或討論時,嘗試使用影片中的詞彙和表達方式,這將進一步提高您在實際情況下的應用能力。
影片中的語法
說話人最常用的結構,並附上影片中的原話:
| 結構 | 影片中的用法 |
|---|---|
| 現在完成時 have/has + 過去分詞 — 過去發生但與現在仍有關聯的事 | we've had · we've gone · have already embedded |
| 被動語態 be + 過去分詞 — 強調發生了什麼,而不是誰做的 | was led · are bottlenecked |
什麼是跟讀法?
跟讀法 (Shadowing) 是一種有科學依據的語言學習技巧,最初開發用於專業口譯員的培訓,並由多語言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。這個方法簡單而強大:您在聽英語母語原聲的同時立即大聲重複——就像是一個延遲1-2秒緊跟說話者的影子。與被動聽力或語法練習不同,跟讀法強迫您的大腦和口腔肌肉同時處理並模模擬實的講話模式。研究表明它能顯著提高發音準確性,語調,節奏,連讀,聽力理解和口語流利度——使其成為雅思口語備考和真實英語交流最有效的方法之一。
