Hi Kate, a very persuasive pitch! The format of the website matches so well with a clip of yourself each page, made me think of TV series and Podcast series. As I browsing through each page it felt like solving a mystery. The background information of yourself, and your experience with language learners is very persuasive, and makes me want to learn a new language. Amazing website!

You have probably the most polished pitch I've reviewed so far. It's very professional and looks like a real business. Just out of curiosity, is that the plan? You can tell that there was a lot of work and thought that went into this. You did a good job establishing presence and I think the idea to break your venture pitch into shorter videos embedded in a website was more impactful than having a single long video. It established your presence but still allowed me to move quickly through the pitch to what I was interested in. I think the idea is really good. I was thinking how I wish there was something like this for me to learn a new language. I would definitely be a customer if this was in a foreign language. Great work.

REVIEW: Very enjoyable presentation Kate. You have demonstrated a strong knack for presenting your idea in a very coherent and beautiful way in a short time. I think for users this would definitely be an engaging way to learn English. It seems that there are many business ideas here centered around a Canadian English mystery. I do have a few questions regarding the concept before investment. (1) Have you found any other ESL schools doing any online book clubs doing a similar thing? Is a book club a supplemental part of their business or their business as a whole? (2) Is there a particular initial target market that you would like to start with? How do you think you would market this concept to this target market? (3) Do you think this concept is expandable to other discussion clubs? TV clubs? Movie clubs? (4) Is an original mystery required for this concept or can currently available content be used? I'm thinking serialized TV shows such as Broadchurch which can be found on Netflix would be great for a whodunit discussion without the need for developing original content. Overall, this is a very well researched and presented idea! Well done!
