The moment before stories are lost.
Most families miss it.
Family stories are disappearing.
Too hard to create
Wrong formats
Never shared
The format is broken.
Long text isn't read
Raw AI isn't trusted
Families share visually
This started personally.
In 2008, I helped eight families publish a memorial book after a Jerusalem school terror attack. It took a year, a full creative team, and over $100,000.
Last year, while turning my grandmother's story into a graphic novel so her grandchildren would actually read it, I realized: our most important stories are lost to format friction.
Yaakov Cohney — Co-Founder

Why Now: The Perfect Storm
AI Has Crossed the Bar
Image and language models are finally good enough for consistent, emotionally resonant visual storytelling. Quality and cost have reached the threshold for family-grade output—beautiful, reliable results that feel handcrafted.
Demographics Drive Urgency
The aging Boomer and Gen X populations hold untold stories. Families are more geographically dispersed than ever. The pressure to "capture before it's lost" has never been stronger—or more financially viable.
Behavior Demands Visual
Shareable, visual legacies—a comic strip, an animated GIF—fit how families actually communicate today. WhatsApp, social media, group chats. A 4-panel comic gets shared; a 200-page text heavy memoir book doesn't.
We don't generate images.
We structure memory.

Why We Win
The Perfect Vertical Stack: We integrate fragmented data (Ancestry, WhatsApp, Photo Libraries) into a structured Legacy Knowledge Graph. We don't lock you in—we give your memories a home.
Human-in-the-Loop (HITL) Curation: AI handles the scale; humans handle the soul. Our internal tools allow curators to ensure character persistence and emotional nuance that no "Black Box" corporate AI can replicate.
Accessibility as a Moat: Large platforms prioritize automation over empathy. We prioritize Senior-First UX and a high-touch service model that treats legacy with the sensitivity it deserves.
Partners, Not Competitors
We provide the "AI+HITL Visual Layer" for established players:
  • Genealogy firms (My Heritage, Ancestry): Turn dry data into visual narratives—dates and names become illustrated family stories
  • Memoir writer groups : Accelerate production for professionals—writers focus on storytelling, we support them with best-in-class tooling and visual generation.
Capture Events in captive environments.

MARKET
Competitive landscape
We're not competing with books or AI art generators
Traditional memoir services cost $10K+ and take months. AI art tools lack structure and family context.
We're building the category: structured visual memory that families trust and actually use.
Market: The Intersection of Story and Legacy
Our Wedge
Communal Legacy: We start where trust already exists—within tight-knit communities with shared heritage.
Phase 1: Jewish Legacy Ecosystem (Zikaron BaSalon, Next October, Jroots, From The Depths) + institutional Bar/Bat Mitzva twinning projects.
Phase 2: Global aging market, cruise workshops, AgeTech integrations.
The Family Legacy Market
We sit at the intersection of genealogy, memoir publishing, and visual storytelling. The market includes:
  • Story capture tools: StoryCorps, Storyworth, FamilySearch
  • Print-on-demand memoirs: Growing interest but text-only output
  • Full-service interview shops: $5K–$15K, slow turnaround
"We are the technology chosen to preserve the most important stories of our generation."
Raising $250K pre-seed.

Why visual storytelling wins
Text-heavy memoirs sit unread on shelves. Graphic novels get passed around dinner tables.
We're not replacing the written word—we're making stories shareable in the formats families actually consume.
