SpeakProApp launches its crowdfunding campaign to help professionals communicate with confidence under pressure

Autor: SpeakProApp

SpeakProApp, one of the 20 projects selected by Santander X Explorer, has officially launched its crowdfunding campaign to transform how professionals prepare for high-stakes communication moments.

Developed by a passionate team of communication, leadership, and technology experts based in Barcelona (Spain), SpeakProApp is a mobile application that puts a communication coach in your pocket. Whether it’s a last-minute investor pitch, a decisive sales conversation, or a high-level keynote, it helps users rehearse and refine their message—anytime, anywhere—through intelligent simulations and instant feedback, so they can walk in with confidence and walk out with results.

“We’ve all seen brilliant ideas fail because the message didn’t land,” shares Tulia Lopes, project founder and Communication Architect. “I’ve witnessed it countless times in boardrooms, on stages, and in interviews. It’s not that people lack knowledge or talent—it’s that, under pressure, their voice falters, their ideas lose shape, and the moment slips away. SpeakProApp is our response to that challenge. It brings together decades of leadership and training expertise in a format that’s agile, accessible, and designed for today’s fast-paced world.”

The spark for SpeakProApp came unexpectedly—while watching a TED Talk by the founder of Duolingo. I thought, if language learning can become accessible to all, why not communication training too? Just like Duolingo transformed the way people learn languages, I envisioned a tool that could revolutionise how we prepare for public speaking, pitches, and negotiations—anytime, anywhere.

This project isn’t just about technology. We believe communication is not a luxury—it’s a life skill that should be available exactly when it’s needed most. And while our primary focus is on helping professionals perform at their best, our mission also aligns with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. By making high-quality training accessible, and affordable, we contribute to quality education, promote gender equality, strengthen employability and leadership potential, and help reduce inequalities by democratising access to tools once reserved for the privileged few.

We are building this for the founder walking into a pitch, the manager preparing for a board presentation, the job seeker facing an interview, and anyone who needs to find their voice in the moments that matter most.

This November, SpeakProApp will take another leap forward: we have been selected to exhibit at the prestigious Web Summit in Lisbon, as part of their highly competitive ALPHA programme for early-stage startups. Web Summit is recognised globally as a launchpad for innovation, where tech visionaries, investors, and industry leaders come together to shape the future. Our goal is to arrive there with a ready-to-show prototype—something tangible we can put in the hands of potential partners, clients, and investors. The success of this crowdfunding campaign is key to making that happen.

By supporting SpeakProApp, you’re not just backing a piece of technology—you’re joining a movement to make communication skills training and support accessible to everyone, anytime, anywhere, 24/7, exactly when it’s needed most. In today’s competitive world, staying relevant as a professional is not just about having a great idea—it’s about being able to communicate that idea with clarity, confidence, and impact.
