A few years ago, my cofounder tried to open his university Google Drive and found that everything was gone. The university had ended its contract with Google. After calls with IT, it became clear the files weren’t coming back. He lost 4 years of photos, work, and memories.
So he got the idea for a project where our most important memories could be safe for the long term.
We’re now building SOULS for this purpose.
It’s a place to collect photos, videos and documents into an archive for yourself or someone you love. You can organize things into memories and keep some of the story behind the files, too.
There’s a bigger ambition behind this project too: that someone in your family could explore these memories years from now and get a sense of who you were.
We're just starting out, so this is a first step to see if the project resonates with people.
