Get your own AI Phoenyx to learn a new language

Originally from Paraná, a small town in Argentina, Carolina is on a mission to help kids learn a second language at the optimal age—when they are young, their brains are most receptive, and they have the time to explore and grow. After building a successful corporate career in Argentina, she sought a new challenge and moved to the US to earn her MBA at MIT Sloan. Following graduation, Carolina co-founded BetterVet, a mobile veterinary startup that raised $40M in 2022 and recently merged with The Vets. Today, she’s revolutionizing bilingual education for children with MyPhoenyx, an AI-powered smart toy designed to make language learning fun, engaging, and screen-free.

In this episode, we talk about:

• Carolina’s first exposure to learning English as a child
• Graduating from her MBA program and wearing multiple hats at a startup
• Balancing hardware, software and AI as she built her first prototype using Raspberry Pi
