We believe that memories are more than moments in time – they're the stories that shape who we are. We created MindStory as a space where people can gather, preserve, and find meaning in their personal memories.
Our journey began with two founders whose own relationships with memory helped shape our mission.
Our Mission
MindStory empowers our users to unlock the wisdom of memory, transforming personal experiences into insights that illuminate our journey through life.
Our Vision
We envision a world where every person's story contributes to a deeper understanding of the human experience, one memory at a time: where people who want to reflect on their experiences engage with their memories to find value, insight, and joy.
Meet The Team
Together, we're building more than just an app – we're creating a space where your memories can find their voice
and their meaning.
Our Social Mission
MindStory is partially owned by Invisible Giants, an international NGO Invisible Giants which has, since 1996, been dedicated to honoring and celebrating “Invisible Giants”, “women who patiently transform their communities. Women to whom others turn when they are in need. When we look for them, we often find them… right under our noses. We see them without paying them any attention. There are so many women who have gone beyond the cultural, religious and economic frameworks that had already decided the limits of their destinies”. As an equity shareholder, Invisible Giants will receive a percentage of MindStory’s revenues (dividends) thus enabling it to be financially independent and sustainable.
