Beeve - Preserving family stories, one conversation at a time

You know that feeling when your grandparents start telling stories about "the old days," and you wish you could bottle up every word? That's exactly why I'm building. After helping build Canada's financial future at ShakePay, I realized our real wealth isn't just in our bank accounts – it's in the stories that shaped us.

The Problem I'm Obsessed With

Every day, priceless family stories are slipping away. The immigrant journey that brought your parents to Canada. Your grandmother's secret recipe that's "all in her head." That hilarious story your dad tells at every family dinner. These aren't just stories – they're the threads that weave together our Canadian identity.

What I'm Building

Beeve

In Development

A storytelling platform that turns everyday family conversations into beautifully preserved memories. Because every 'Hey, remember when...' deserves to be saved for future generations.

Think of it as a bridge between generations. You share a conversation, a WhatsApp chat, or those quick notes you jotted down during Sunday dinner, and we transform them into chapters of your family's legacy. It's not just about preservation – it's about understanding where we came from to better shape where we're going.

Why This Matters for Canada

Canada's strength has always been in its stories – from indigenous oral histories to immigrant tales of building new lives here. But in our digital age, we're losing these stories faster than ever. By building technology that helps preserve these narratives, we:

  • Keep our diverse Canadian stories alive for future generations
  • Help families understand their role in Canada's tapestry
  • Create technology that serves human connection, not attention extraction
  • Build tools that reflect Canadian values of family and heritage
  • Export Canadian innovation in digital storytelling globally

Why I'm Building This with Tenfold

In a world obsessed with "moving fast and breaking things," Tenfold is different. Here, we believe in building things that matter, things that last. Being part of this community means:

  • Working alongside builders who measure impact in generations, not quarters
  • Sharing the journey with others who understand that technology should serve human connection
  • Contributing to a vision of Canadian tech that prioritizes meaningful innovation
  • Being part of Victoria's growing ecosystem of purposeful builders

Have a story worth preserving? Let's build something meaningful together.
