Making ME.mory Even More of a Reality
Donation protected
Welcome to the GoFundMe for ME.mory!
"ME.mory" is the brainchild (wordplay intended) of Thomas Dixon and has been developed by the team at JumpButton Studio.
ME.mory is a digital memory mobile application which allows users to privately store their recollections and life events, in a way which is fully-searchable while providing statistical data with charts and graphs.
Our YouTube video quickly explains what we are aiming to accomplish.
By funding our efforts, you are helping bring to market sooner a mobile application which people are eager to use.
We see our market as having "need-based" and "want-based" users.
Just what do we mean by such a distinction?
1) Need-based user scenario: Individuals using a digital memory such that they search for medical information while with their doctors, just as Thomas does when he searches for "seizure" while at his neurologist's office.
Others like Thomas will not have this information available at needed times unless thinking to do so in advance. Yet life surprises us all. Who knows when we may need to know about our life's experiences in greater detail than we're able to recall?
2) Want-based user scenario: A woman knows that some of her friends were at her birthday party and she wants to return the favor by making sure she'll be at their parties too. Yet she cannot recall just who had been there. While people did RSVP via Facebook and she could look there, who actually showed up? What gift did which person give her?
With a digital memory such as ME.mory, she is able to keep that information to herself (including how great or lousy she thought the gifts she received were). This information is stored in a way which is guaranteed to be as or more accurate when viewed at any future date than her own recall will be.
We have seen unintended consequences of ME.mory already, such that there are markets we now know will benefit from a fuller, sooner release as they have identified themselves:
-Parents recording the lives of their children.
&
-Caretakers recording events in the lives of others.
We thought to call our app "ME.mory" as we thought it would be used by people for themselves. Yet there are even greater opportunities for our app.
With your funding we could identify even more groups, enabling them as well.
Mobile technology is not about to go away, yet we know that our rates of memory loss only increase as we get older.
SO...
How will we use money raised for ME.mory?
&
What incentives can we offer you to donate?
Money will be used as follows, noting this as of 5/7/19:
$10,000 = Will enable us to launch our final product testing on both iOS and Android simultaneously and also launch the new ME.mory website.
$25,000 = Will enable us to officially launch the product at scale with all intended features including a subscription plan. Depending on your donation through this GoFundMe, you may be eligible for a discounted plan or deal upon introduction of subscriptions. This will also allow us to maintain an office space in Philadelphia as well as afford up-to-date devices to further test the possibilities of our product.
$40,000 = Will enable us to hire more developers, enhance features and start prototyping a wearable-compatible version of the ME.mory application. We will be able to successfully maintain the functions of ME.mory and potential future features.
$60,000 = By raising this amount, we will be in a position to successfully reach out to and form partnerships and relationships with organizations and institutions focused on improving the livelihood of individuals on our need-based users to build out the best possible platform for their use cases. We will also be enabled to explore possible connected features allowing others to build a narrative and share their stories of how they experience life with the impact of not being able to properly recall details. We will also be able to start the development of the browser-based/web version of ME.mory for laptop/computer access.
We will be transparent about all expenditures through the ME.mory website for individuals to observe and see how donations are helping our developments.
Incentives we can offer today include:
Any amount = Our appreciation (of course!)
$25 = A time-limited membership for advanced features of ME.mory!
$50 = A signed copy of my memoir once published!
$60 = A time-limited membership for advanced features of ME.mory equal to more than the monthly-accumulated cost of $60 worth of paid subscription.
$100 = Thomas giving a talk to your group!
$200 = Our team giving a talk to your group!
$500 = Access to detailed information about the progress of ME.mory outside of information that are confidential to ME.mory along with ME.mory swag such as shirts, mugs, and others.
$1,000 = Lifetime subscription to ME.mory’s highest paid option upon release of subscription plans and two free consultation sessions from Jumpbutton Studio discussing ideas you might have in mind for projects you would like to bring to life.
>$??? = If you want to give higher donations and then let's talk!
Higher tiers also include the offers for the lower tiers.
The sooner we have these funds, the sooner we can help others with ME.mory and bring to market an extensive version of our vision.
Thank you!
