LOS ANGELES, March 10, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Remento, the innovative family story preservation platform that transforms spoken memories into personalized keepsake books, landed a $300,000 investment from Mark Cuban on ABC’s Shark Tank. The deal positions Remento for rapid expansion of its groundbreaking AI-powered Speech-to-Story technology.
Charlie Greene, Remento’s co-founder and CEO, captivated the Sharks with Remento’s mission to preserve family stories for future generations. The platform allows users to record responses to weekly storytelling prompts over a year, with the recordings automatically transformed into written stories and compiled into hardcover books, which feature QR codes that link to the original recordings.
“Remento provides a way to preserve not just our parents’ and grandparents’ stories, but their actual voices for generations to come,” said Greene. “Mark’s investment validates our vision of making family story preservation accessible to everyone, regardless of their writing ability or technical expertise.”
Cuban, a billionaire who uses Shark Tank to decide where to make some of his investments, became visibly emotional during the pitch when Greene demonstrated how users can hear their loved ones’ voices through QR codes in the printed books. He immediately recognized the platform’s potential.
“What got me was the combination of traditional storytelling with modern technology,” says Cuban. “Remento isn’t just preserving memories – it’s preserving the actual voice and personality of our loved ones. As someone who wishes I had more recordings of my own parents’ stories, I immediately saw the value in what the team at Remento has built.”
Since launching in 2021, Remento has helped thousands of families preserve their stories, which requires no downloads, logins, or passwords for storytellers. The $99 product includes a year of prompts and one hardcover, color-printed book, plus access to a digital archive of recorded stories.
The “Shark Tank” episode featuring Remento aired on ABC on March 7, 2025 and is available to stream on Hulu. For more information and photos, visit https://www.dgepress.com/abc/shows/shark-tank.
