About us
We help parents take part in the decisions that shape their child’s future
Lexora is a Dutch start-up building AI conversation simulations for migrant parents. Parents rehearse real school meetings — the ten-minute report, the school advice, extra support — in a safe space, in their own time, before the real conversation happens.
Why we started
In many urban Dutch schools, 30–50% of students come from migrant families. Their parents care deeply, but school meetings move fast, use specialist words like schooladvies or doorstroomtoets, and often end with a decision that is hard to question later.
Our founders know this from their own experience as newcomers and translators in the Netherlands. Lexora gives parents the preparation that is missing today.
What we believe
- Participation over perfectionWe score how well you take part, not your grammar.
- Your language is welcomePractise in Dutch, and fall back on English, Turkish or Arabic when you are stuck.
- Privacy by designWe do not keep your practice conversations, only your score and a short summary.
- Honest about AIThe teacher is an AI. It helps you prepare; it never replaces the school or professional advice.
The team
Our all-female founding team brings strong expertise in strategy, finance, localisation, and multilingual communication, supported by freelance AI and software developers.
