Our Mission : Help kids learn French at their own pace online with interactive activities to learn and a conversational AI to practice anytime, anywhere.

All powered by cutting-edge Gen-AI technology with NLP and LLM solutions.

• 0-1 Product prioritization & vision setting to get a product in the hands of customers.
• Strategy (ICP/content/GTM/SEO, Meta Ads). We got our first PLG sales within a few months of the company starting!
• Early technology decisions, hands on help for prototyping, building and validating our MVP
• Built a prototype of a pedagogical conversational AI/mini AGI kids can practice French with using their voice. This helped us unlock 400hours of AI research to pursue our R&D with various partners.

• Shape the venture's strategy with a focus on securing funding.
• Lead the vision, strategy, and execution of product development
• Lead extensive market research to identify opportunities, user needs, and competitive landscapes.
• Define revenue models, explore partnerships, and conduct financial analysis for financial feasibility.
