  1. Investor

    Schön, dass Sie da sind! Sie sind heute die letzte Gründerin, also überraschen Sie uns mit Ihrem Pitch.

    Translation

    Good to have you here! You're the last founder today, so surprise us with your pitch.

  2. Frida

    Translation

    Gladly. Fresh bread by cargo bike, before breakfast - quiet, punctual and with no car at all. That's our unique selling point.

  3. Investor

    Charmant. Und wer genau ist Ihre Zielgruppe?

    Translation

    Charming. And who exactly is your target group?

  4. Frida

    Translation

    Families above all. From two hundred customers the business model would be viable - according to our forecast, as early as the fourth month.

  5. Investor

    Translation

    Forecasts, as we know, will say anything. And how do you intend to scale?

  6. Frida

    Translation

    District by district, with ten new cargo bikes each time. That way growth and scaling stay healthy and manageable.

  7. Investor

    Translation

    And how much start-up capital would that take?

  8. Frida

    Hunderttausend Euro für eine Beteiligung von zehn Prozent.

    Translation

    A hundred thousand euros for a ten per cent stake.

  9. Investor

    Translation

    Whether bread on wheels is innovative enough for an investment like that, frankly, I'm not so sure.

  10. Frida

    Translation

    Understandable. But the added value is obvious: less noise, fresh bread, jobs in the neighbourhood. Anyone who invests now strikes a chord with the times.

  11. Investor

    Gut vorbereitet, das muss man Ihnen lassen. Die anderen Investoren und ich melden uns bis Freitag.

    Translation

    Well prepared, I'll give you that. The other investors and I will get back to you by Friday.

  12. Frida

    Translation

    Thank you for letting me pitch here! And feel free to try it first: tomorrow morning, before six, there'll be a loaf at your door.
