Nl: Bram stond voor de groep.

Nl: Zijn handen trilden een beetje van spanning.
En: His hands trembled slightly from tension.

Nl: Voor hem zaten investeerders, onder hen Lieke.

Nl: Lieke was kritisch en sceptisch.
En: Lieke was critical and skeptical.

Nl: Ze had vele startups voorbij zien komen.

Nl: Bram had een idee, een app die stemherkenning tot een nieuw niveau bracht.
En: Bram had an idea, an app that took voice recognition to a new level.

Nl: Maar Lieke keek streng.
En: But Lieke looked stern.

Nl: "Waarom werkt jouw idee beter dan de rest?"
En: "Why does your idea work better than the rest?"

Nl: vroeg ze.
En: she asked.

Nl: Bram had het antwoord voorbereid.

Nl: Sanne knikte subtiel en stond op om te helpen.
En: Sanne nodded subtly and stood up to help.

Nl: "Sanne," zei Bram, "kan je alsjeblieft vertellen over onze marktstrategie?"
En: "Sanne," said Bram, "could you please talk about our market strategy?"

Nl: Sanne glimlachte.
En: Sanne smiled.

Nl: Ze was de zakelijke kant van het team en wist goed hoe ze ideeën moest presenteren.
En: She was the business side of the team and knew well how to present ideas.

Nl: "We richten ons op een groeiende markt," zei ze.

Nl: "En we hebben een uniek verkoopargument.
En: "And we have a unique selling point.

Nl: Onze app begrijpt dialecten beter dan de concurrentie."
En: Our app understands dialects better than the competition."

Nl: Lieke leunde iets naar voren, geïnteresseerd maar nog steeds sceptisch.
En: Lieke leaned slightly forward, interested but still skeptical.

Nl: "En hoe zit het met de technische haalbaarheid?"

Nl: vroeg ze.
En: she asked.

Nl: Dit was Brams moment.
En: This was Bram's moment.

Nl: Hij liet een korte demo zien.

Nl: De kamer was stil.
En: The room was silent.

Nl: Zelfs Lieke keek verrast.
En: Even Lieke looked surprised.

Nl: "Dat is indrukwekkend," gaf ze toe.
En: "That's impressive," she admitted.

Nl: "Maar ik wil meer dan een demo.
En: "But I want more than a demo.

Nl: Ik wil betrokken zijn bij het marktonderzoek.
En: I want to be involved in market research.

En: This was an opportunity.

Nl: "We zijn bereid om samen te werken," zei Sanne.
