Founders accumulate institutional knowledge that rarely makes it into formal documentation: why specific early decisions were made, what almost killed the company, what the values really mean. Heirloom captures founder stories — alongside co-founders, key early employees, mentors — into a Family Council that successors and family members can consult. Used by family-business succession planning and early-stage founders documenting their own journey.
Frequently Asked Questions
Confidentiality — can sensitive business material be excluded from public synthesis?
Yes — members mark sessions as private (founder-only), family-only, successor-only, or public. Granular access control.
Can co-founders be Council members?
Yes — Family Council supports unlimited storytellers. Co-founders + key early employees + family is a typical founder Council.
Can capture be compressed for a busy founder?
Yes — sessions are self-paced, so a busy founder can block a few longer sittings instead of months of weekly sessions. Common for founders preparing for IPO, exit, or succession.
Which tier fits family-business succession?
Heritage ($299/yr, or $499 one-time) is the top tier: everything in Family plus real, consent-gated voice preservation. Built for families planning generational transitions.
