Our Story
Memolane began as an idea pitched by Eric Lagier at Startup Weekend Copenhagen in April 2010. Eric and co-founders Nikolaj Hald Nielsen and Harry Vangberg were part of the team that built the first Memolane prototype, which went on to win the event.
Following the initial Startup Weekend success, Eric left his job to pursue Memolane full-time. The Memolane.com service went live and available for users by invitation in April 2010. The early users provided great feedback for improvements. In September 2010 Memolane secured $2 million in VC funding from Atomico Ventures and August Capital. In November Memolane opened to private beta testers, and in February 2011 they were named a finalist for the SXSWi Awards.
Memolane is headquartered in San Francisco, where our story continues.
