Wednesday at HHL Leipzig Graduate School of Management felt like a mini roadshow. The morning kicked off with a visit from NYU Stern School of Business MBA students — PronunCise was selected alongside Pharen (SHIVANGI PACHAURI Johannes Kanthak) and Qlug (Sophia Sowa) to represent #TractionLab Batch #2, pitch our startup, and talk through the German early-stage funding landscape. What stood out: the questions were sharp, product-focused, and execution-oriented. Genuinely refreshing compared to the usual data security deep dives. 😄 From there, a focused working session at HHL DIGITAL SPACE - The Entrepreneurship Hub — preparing the launch of our first in-class cooperation MVP. A tool that scales the classic dialog breakout session into a structured hybrid setting: tracking student progress, delivering real-time feedback, and guiding learners through pronunciation and fluency improvement. More on this soon. The day closed with something I genuinely didn't see coming — a 3-hour takeover of two HHL German courses (A2 and B1). PronunCise ran the entire lesson. I never expected to find myself leading a German class. But what surprised me most wasn't the format — it was the energy in the room. It was 19:00 on a regular HHL Wednesday. A language class at the end of a long day doesn't usually command attention. Every single participant was engaged, leaning in, and having fun. That's the signal we needed. 🎙️ Big thanks to everyone who was part of the day — the NYU group, the HHL team (Joshua Barthel), and both classes who showed up with so much energy.
