Remento Secures Mark Cuban Deal on Shark Tank: The Memory Book That Preserves Family Stories

As seen on ABC's Shark Tank, Remento helps families preserve their most precious memories through an innovative combination of recorded interviews and personalized books. See below for a link to watch the full episode.

Standing on the Shark Tank stage wasn't just about pitching a product – it was about sharing a mission that's deeply personal to our team and to thousands of families across America. When Mark Cuban and the other Sharks heard our story, they immediately understood the value of preserving family memories. Here's the story of how Remento made it to Shark Tank, secured a deal with Mark Cuban, and most importantly, why we're so passionate about helping families preserve their stories.

The Story Behind Remento

The seeds of Remento were planted during a pivotal moment in our family's life. When my mom was diagnosed with cancer, it sparked an immediate realization: while we had plenty of casual home videos from the 90s that captured spontaneous moments, we lacked recent recordings that truly captured her essence – her voice, her stories, her wisdom.

So we embarked on what we thought would be a simple project: recording a few conversations with our mom to create a time capsule of her stories for future generations. What unfolded was far more profound. These conversations became a journey of discovery, bringing our family closer than we ever imagined possible. Each recording session revealed new stories, sparked deeper connections, and created precious memories of its own.

What Is Remento?

Remento makes it easy to turn cherished family memories into beautiful keepsake books - no writing required. Each week, Remento storytellers receive new storytelling prompts to record their responses from any device, with no apps or passwords needed. Using innovative Speech-to-Story technology, Remento then turns these recordings into polished written stories, which can be enhanced with treasured family photos. 

The final result is a stunning hardcover, color-printed book filled with stories and photos, plus QR codes that let future generations read each story and experience the original recording that inspired it. For $99, families receive a full year of weekly prompts and one hardcover book, making Remento the perfect way to preserve life's most meaningful stories for generations to come.

Why Families Love Remento

Before appearing on Shark Tank, Remento had already helped thousands of families preserve their most precious memories. The platform has gained popularity because it solves a common challenge: many elderly relatives prefer talking to typing, making traditional memory books difficult to create. Remento eliminates this barrier by working on any device without requiring downloads or passwords, making it accessible for users of all technical abilities. 

What truly sets it apart is how it creates lasting keepsakes that combine written stories with recordings of the storyteller, offering families a meaningful way to preserve not just the words but also the voices of their loved ones. As a gift for parents and grandparents, it provides a unique way to capture precious memories before they're lost to time, creating an invaluable family treasure that can be passed down through generations.

Our Journey to Shark Tank

The opportunity to appear on Shark Tank represented more than just a business pitch – it was a chance to share our mission with millions of families who might be wondering how to preserve their own stories before it's too late. Walking onto that stage, the energy was electric.

As the demonstration unfolded, showing how Remento works, the Sharks' reactions confirmed what we've always believed: this isn't just another tech product. This is about building bridges between generations, creating lasting legacies that families can treasure forever.

The questions from the Sharks helped highlight what makes Remento different from other memory preservation services or traditional autobiography approaches. They understood immediately that Remento isn't just about creating a book – it's about making the process of preserving family stories accessible to everyone, regardless of their writing ability or technical expertise.

Landing a Deal With Mark Cuban

When pitching on Shark Tank, Remento caught the attention of billionaire investor Mark Cuban, who immediately connected with our mission. As we demonstrated how our platform works, Mark recognized the powerful combination of technology and emotional connection that Remento offers.

After thoughtful questions about our business model and growth strategy, Mark decided to invest, seeing the potential to help millions of families preserve their most precious stories before they're lost to time. His expertise in technology and scaling businesses makes him an ideal partner as we continue to grow Remento's reach and impact.
