Where real-life storytelling meets AI — preserving emotion, not just information.
Your Family's Story, Beautifully Told.
The Problem
Stories Are Being Lost
Too Hard to Create
Writing a memoir takes months or years. Most families never start—and when they do, the technical and creative demands overwhelm them before the first chapter is finished.
Nobody Reads the Output
A 500-page text memoir sits on the shelf collecting dust. Dense prose doesn't match how families consume and share stories today—especially across generations.
No Clear Path Forward
Stories are scattered across voice notes, photos, and fading memories. Tech intimidates elders. There's no simple way to turn "voice in the room" into a shareable artifact like a comic or visual keepsake.
The Solution
AI + Human Curation for Visual Family Legacies
MVP Launch: Q1 2026
Our initial offering is laser-focused on delivering immediate, high-value results. LegacyTaleCraft Concierge transforms existing memoir manuscripts or recorded interviews into professionally bound graphic novels—no need to wait for full self-service tools.
This approach generates premium revenue ($1,000+ per project) from day one, funding our R&D with real customer feedback rather than assumptions. We're building features based on what paying customers actually need, ensuring capital efficiency and product-market fit.
The Tie-In Product, ready for partner integrations
TaleBridge captures leads with our signature "Legacy Moment"—turning a 1-minute family story into a shareable 4-panel comic the same day. This instant gratification creates the emotional connection that drives customers into our premium offerings.
Our Technology Stack
We combine best-in-class AI for narrative understanding, for visual generation, and advanced image models—with careful human curation at every step.
The result? Premium, artistic, trustworthy visual storytelling that families want to share and preserve for generations.
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.
NOW: 2026 Revenue & MVP
Product: Two Platforms, One Journey
TaleBridge: The Entry Point
Our CAC destroyer. Low-friction story collection via voice, photo-prompts, and scanning. Grandparents tell stories; family members prompt and guide. Output includes a shareable "Legacy Moment"—a 4-panel comic or GIF delivered the same day.
Pricing: Free tier (5 stories), then $10–$40/month for expanded features. Designed to create habit and emotional connection before the upsell.
LegacyTaleCraft: The Destination
Where stories become art. Full graphic novel studio—script to panels to PDF to print. Self-serve plans ($100–$200/project for DIY creators. Concierge service (from $1,000/project) for white-glove production in 4–8 weeks.
Bridge workflow: Existing memoir text and mapped metadata is stored in family knowledge graph, flows seamlessly into "Visualize as Comic" mode, then into the full studio.
Partner-Led Acquisition
TaleBridge isn't just a consumer app—it's a white-label API for AgeTech and genealogy ecosystems. We aim to plug into platforms like MyHeritage and The Oak, turning raw genealogical data into visual narratives. These partners need AI that "reads between the lines" of dates and names, creating emotional resonance from dry data.
The Vertical AI Stack for Heritage
01
Capture: The Intake
TaleBridge App: Bite-sized voice and photo capture, designed for simplicity.
Partner Services: Seamless integration for professional interviewers and digitization experts—we handle the tech, they handle the trust.
02
Process: The Intelligence
Research Studio & Memoir CoPilot: Transform raw inputs into structured Knowledge Graphs—entities, dates, relationships, emotional beats.
Our AI builds "Memoir Tables" that organize scattered memories into coherent narratives ready for visualization.
03
Produce: The Studio
Graphic Studio: Auto-generate full graphic novel PDFs with consistent character rendering. Full editing control.
Multi-Modal Add-ons: One-click conversion into E-books, Audiobooks, Animated Films, and interactive Family Games.
Any format, any medium.
04
Preserve: The Legacy
Memory Vault: Long-term metadata storage and knowledge-graph hosting—searchable, shareable, secure for decades.
Global Distribution: Partner-led physical printing and shipping, ensuring heirloom-quality delivery anywhere in the world.
We are not just an app. We are a vertical AI stack controlling data capture, knowledge processing, and generative output. This vertical integration enables premium quality and consistency—and creates a defensible moat against generic AI tools.

Output: Professionally bound graphic novel, heirloom quality. High-touch service at premium pricing—our immediate revenue engine while self-serve scales.
Project Rescue
Contextual offer when paying users stall mid-project. Hidden from main pricing—only surfaced when needed to convert abandoned carts into completed stories.
Unit Economics: Engineered for Profitability
"We engineered the product so the first 'wow' is expensive—and everything after is cheap."
TaleBridge: Tiered Quality
Free tier: $1.22/user (1 pro story + 4 non-pro images). Strategic: first story delivers the "wow moment" with premium quality; subsequent stories use cost-efficient generation—74% cost reduction versus all-pro.
Paid tier ($20/month for 40 stories): ~$6.24 cost → 69% gross margin. First story remains pro quality to drive publishing and sharing; rest optimized for volume.
LegacyTaleCraft: Self-Serve
Plans are profitable at current credit usage patterns. For a 25-page project (~200–400 images):
At $80: thin margin at max usage
At $100+: 30–65% margin (recommended pricing)
Credits roll over; most users don't max out monthly allowances, improving effective margins.
Concierge: High-Margin Service
$1,000+ per project. Covers labor (human curation, art direction, client management) plus healthy margin. AI acceleration reduces production time ~70% versus fully manual competitors, enabling premium pricing with sustainable delivery.
Concierge subsidizes R&D and proves demand before scaling self-serve features.
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 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
Dual platform (capture + comic)—integrated funnel from story to artifact
Concierge at scale—AI-accelerated, human-guided production at $2K+ (vs. $5K–$15K fully manual)
"Legacy Moment" (4-panel/GIF)—instant gratification, shareable on social/messaging
Beachhead: Trust-Driven Acquisition
Twinning & Commemoration: Bar/Bat Mitzvah twinning with Holocaust victims (Yad Vashem) or terror survivors (OneFamily, NextOctober)—collaborative visual heritage books that forge emotional bonds text alone cannot achieve. Institutional partners provide distribution and credibility.
"We are the technology chosen to preserve the most important stories of our generation."
Competition: The Visual Layer No One Else Owns
Story Capture Platforms
Story Nest, Westory, Fableton, StoriedLife, Kidtales: Freemium to $99/month. Story capture, text memoirs, some print. None offer graphic novel or comic as primary output.
Interview Services
Sharelooms, LifeBook Memoirs: $5K–$15K, 100% manual, months-long timelines. Premium results but inaccessible pricing and slow delivery.
Our Concierge: $2K+, 4–8 weeks, AI-accelerated but human-guided. Premium quality without the 6-month wait or $10K+ price tag.
Why We Win
Visual output as default: Graphic novels, 4-panel comics, GIFs—formats designed for today's sharing behavior
Integrated funnel: TaleBridge (capture) → LegacyTaleCraft (comic)—seamless journey from story to artifact
Speed + quality: AI cuts production ~70% versus manual, enabling premium results at accessible pricing
We provide the "AI 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 & Life Stories Australia: Accelerate production for professionals—writers focus on storytelling, we handle visual generation
Technical Moat: The Perfect Vertical Stack
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.
Traction: Proof of Execution
This is not a mockup. This is a finished, physically bound graphic novel we've already produced.
The photo above kills the "is this just another GPT wrapper?" doubt. We've already navigated the complex "Last Mile" of physical production—from digital panels to heirloom-quality printing and binding. This is proof we can deliver on the full promise: from story to finished book in hand.

What This Capital Unlocks
This round gets us to:
X paying self-serve users by [date]
Y completed concierge projects demonstrating product-market fit
Validated unit economics on both subscription and high-AOV concierge models
Strategic partnerships with Jewish heritage organizations (NLI, Zikaron BaSalon), kosher hotels and cruise lines for pilot programs
Strategic GTM: "Legacy at Sea"
We're allocating GTM funds to pilot on-board workshops on cruises like Avalon Waterways' "Storyteller Series." Why cruises? Seniors have time, nostalgia, and often family present. Cruise lines have dedicated enrichment/tech budgets. It's a frictionless, high-intent environment to move from TaleBridge capture to finished LegacyTaleCraft books during a 7-day voyage.
This tests our hypothesis that captive-audience moments (cruises, retreats, family reunions) are optimal conversion environments—and proves scalability before broader rollout.
LegacyTaleCraft
Your Family's Story, Beautifully Told.
We're building for the moment before stories are lost—and we want to get it right.
How should we prioritize the "Bridge" workflow for partners (genealogy firms, MyHeritage) versus direct-to-consumer memoir groups?
Partner-Led (B2B2C)
Pros: TaleBridge API into genealogy/AgeTech platforms. Established distribution channels. Higher initial deal sizes. Credibility through institutional partnerships.
Pros: Faster feedback loops. Direct customer relationships. Full margin capture. Quicker iteration based on user behavior. Control over brand and positioning.
Considerations: Higher CAC. Need for content marketing engine. Community building from scratch. Competition with established memoir platforms.
This decision impacts: team allocation, sales resources, product roadmap sequencing, and go-to-market spend allocation for the next 12–18 months. We welcome investor perspective on balancing these paths.
