Our Mission: Connecting Generations Through Stories

At Whowe, we believe that every family story deserves to be preserved and shared. Our mission is to create a comprehensive digital storytelling platform where personal histories, cultural memories, and family legacies can be documented, connected, and passed down to future generations.

We're dedicated to making the process of capturing and sharing family stories accessible to everyone, regardless of technical ability or background. By connecting these stories, we create a rich tapestry of human experience that celebrates our diversity while highlighting our shared humanity.

Our Story: From Vision to Global Impact

Whowe was founded in 2020 by a diverse team of technologists, historians, and storytellers who recognized that too many family stories were being lost to time. What began as a simple tool for recording audio memories has evolved into a comprehensive platform for preserving and connecting family narratives across generations and cultures.

Our journey has been shaped by the thousands of families who have trusted us with their stories. Each memory shared on our platform has informed our development, helping us create tools that truly serve the needs of families seeking to preserve their cultural heritage and family histories.

Today, Whowe hosts over 50,000 family stories from 75 countries, creating an unprecedented archive of personal histories that might otherwise have been forgotten. We continue to grow and evolve, constantly seeking new ways to help families document and share their unique narratives through innovative digital storytelling technology.
