who’ve felt the loss
Every person on this team has a story they didn’t get to hear in time. That’s not a coincidence. It’s the reason we show up.
Most family history products are built for people who already care deeply about genealogy — who enjoy filling out family trees and scanning documents. Lifestoria was built for everyone else.
The people who mean to have the conversation. Who keep thinking there's more time. Who realize, at a hospital bedside or after a funeral, that they never asked the questions they needed to ask.
We built Lifestoria because the technology to preserve a human voice has existed for a century, and most of us still don't do it. Not because we don't care. Because the friction is too high and the urgency never feels real until it's too late.
"We're not archivists. We're not historians. We're just a team of people who lost something we can't get back, and decided to make it easier for others not to."

Our Founders
Founder & CEO
“My grandmother spoke three languages and lived across two continents, but I only have a handful of her stories. That loss is the reason this company exists.”
I grew up in a Greek family where stories were everywhere, passed across dinner tables, told in fragments, rarely written down, almost never preserved. They carried everything my family had lived through: war, destruction, executions, displacement, earthquakes, immigration.
But like so many families, we assumed those voices would always be there. By the time I understood how much they mattered, some of them were already gone.
I started Lifestoria because I wanted a way to sit with the people I love and hear the stories that took a lifetime to live, not just what happened, but how it felt, in their own words, in their own voice.
Your story is one of the few things no one else can tell for you. And it does not wait forever.
Co-Founder
“I only ever known my grandfather in the role he played in my life. But he was also an 18-year-old who left everything behind, and a young man trying to find his place in a new world. I wish I could have known that side of him too…”
By the time I was old enough to be curious—to wonder what it felt like to leave everything behind at 18 and start over somewhere new—my grandfather was already gone. What stayed with me wasn’t just the loss, but the conversations we never had and the stories I’ll never hear.
That absence is what led me to co-found Lifestoria. I didn’t want others to carry that same quiet regret—the feeling of missing a whole lifetime that existed just out of reach. It’s a way to hold onto those stories while they’re still here, so no one has to wonder what could have been.
Co-Founder
“I know my Yiayia as a grandmother. But she was also a seamstress, an immigrant, and a girl my age once. I want to know that version of her too.”
The idea for Lifestoria started when my cousin lost his grandfather, my uncle. We both realized how many stories we’d never get to hear. That feeling stuck with us, and we decided something should exist so other families don’t have to feel it too.
I love writing and I love stories, especially the ones my family tells at dinner that always seem to end with “ask your Yiayia.” So I started asking. And the more I heard, the more I realized how much I almost never knew.
Lifestoria exists so that kids like me don’t have to wonder what their grandparents’ lives were really like. You just have to ask while you still can.
