History
Storyworth was founded in 2012 by Nick Baum, a San Francisco-based software engineer and product manager who left Google in 2011 to create his own startup, and his wife Krista.[3][4] The idea grew out of his project, Dear Robot, that texted a daily question and produced a mini diary from the collected replies,[1] and Baum's interest in his father's early life.[4][3][5]
Business model
Subscribers receive one question per week and can reply in writing (on the website or by e-mail), or with audio recording via phone.[3] The collected stories are compiled into a hardcover book.[1][2] Users can also compose their own questions[6] and upload their photographs.[1]
In 2022, the annual fee was US$99, and the subscription tied a year of weekly prompts to book production with options to add photos, design the cover, and make edits before printing.[7][8]
