The founder
Visionary at home. Guarded with investors.
You pitch your company brilliantly in your language. In front of an English-speaking investor, the vision comes out cautious and smaller than it is.
The reality
You walked into the English board call with a clear position and left having agreed to less than you wanted, because holding the line in a second language felt like a gamble, and on a deal that size the gap is measured in millions of dollars. You let a sharper English speaker frame the decision. Your judgment built the company. The English is the one tool that has not kept up with the room you now lead.

View track“Good English” means nothing to a hiring panel. A CEFR level from A1 to C2 means everything. It tells an employer, a visa officer, or a client exactly what you can do. We certify through Tracktest, so you have documented proof to share with employers, visa officers, or clients. Want the certificate on its own, now? Take the paid CEFR assessment and walk away with a documented level this week.
I used to soften my point on the regional call. Now I make it, in English, and the decision goes my way.
