At My Phoenyx, we believe every child deserves the confidence to communicate across cultures.

We’re a team of parents, educators, and technologists on a mission to help kids learn a second language at the right time—without screens or stress. Backed by research from experts at MIT and Harvard, MyPhoenyx is designed to make language learning as natural and magical as playtime.

Our story started with our founder, Carolina Goncebat, an entrepreneur and MIT Sloan grad who grew up learning English as a second language. She knows firsthand how language opens doors—and how hard it can be without the right tools. After co-founding and scaling a healthcare startup, she set out to solve a problem close to her heart: helping kids become bilingual early, joyfully, and confidently.

To bring My Phoenyx to life, Carolina teamed up with Michelle Bruni, an education researcher and language development expert, as well as a passionate group of bilingual preschool teachers who help shape our curriculum with real classroom experience. Together, we’re building something kids love—and parents can trust.

The result is My Phoenyx—an AI-powered, screen-free plush toy that talks, plays, and grows with your child.

We’re building more than a toy. We’re building a bridge between cultures, families, and futures.
