In Sylvi's words

“People don’t learn languages by memorising random words, they learn by practicing real conversation. Born from personal frustration, Sylvi builds the skills and confidence required to hold real-world conversations, so you don’t freeze while ordering a coffee in Paris. From personalised lesson plans to chats with other learners or AI penpals, every feature has a conversation-first approach and is enhanced with AI-powered corrections and explanations.”

In FIGR's words

“We were Sylvi consumers before we were investors, and Fiona (our MD) found the app to be a gamechanger for her own language learning. After getting to know the team, investing felt like a natural next step. Sylvi combines two sectors of interest for FIGR: consumer and education. We are thrilled to be backing this exciting startup to make high-quality, conversational language learning more accessible.”
