About the Founder

Hi, I’m Raquel

Founder and CEO of Phygilime GmbH, Zürich

I’m a former corporate lawyer and strategist who left the traditional legal world to build digital businesses rooted in clarity, trust, and practical impact. After living in multiple countries and helping countless others through their transitions, I realized there was a profound gap in the market: people needed more than just information—they needed trusted guidance, practical tools, and someone who understood their journey from experience.

This insight led to the creation of Phygilime, a digital venture studio focused on building brands that solve real problems for global citizens. Each project we develop combines legal precision with human empathy, technical excellence with accessible design, and strategic thinking with practical application.

“Each Phygilime brand is built with care, empathy, and structure—so others can move forward with confidence in their life transitions.”

With purpose,
Raquel Matos Gonçalves
Founder & CEO
