ABOUT US:
We are a Seed Stage funded startup, already in market with product-market fit and revenue. We are evolving our GTM channels to a combination marketplace and D2C business, which recruits and enables partners (people who engage seniors to capture their stories on video) and drives new customers (seniors and their families) to partners who use our platform.
Our Mission is to Empower people to capture, discover and share the stories that matter most and to do so on video. Everyone has a story to tell and we seek to become the #1 platform to enable professional-grade capture, production, preservation, and distribution of peoples’ archival quality stories on video.
Who We Are: We are a group of investors and operators with proven track records as entrepreneurs, creative, and technical leaders. We have started, incubated, and scaled new businesses in the B2C and B2B2C sectors. We are veterans from the video game, high-tech/cloud/e-commerce industries, healthcare, and one of us is an award winning Filmmaker, writer, storytelling coach, and TED speaker.
Our Business: We are the video equivalent of StoryCorp, somewhat similar to StoryWorth (for Video, not books) seeking to ensure that everyone’s story, starting with Seniors, is captured, shared and preserved on Video. Our model is similar but not the same to popular marketplaces including Angi, Rover, and others.
