About Our Fable
Our Fable runs a private online archive where parents invite grandparents, relatives, and friends to send letters, voice notes, photos, and videos for a child. The company encrypts each submission and delivers it to the child at chosen milestones, such as birthdays. Besides the Archive, the service offers a Dispatch feature for sharing private updates with a chosen circle, and an Album tool that turns weekly photo picks into a running record of childhood.
The company prices the service at $99 a year, with a 30-day free trial, and $39 a year for each additional child. It was started by Dave and Amanda Sweeney, who say they built it after finding no place to save the stories and memories loved ones held for their son. Our Fable is based in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

Why Investors Backed Our Fable
Our Fable sells a private digital archive that gathers letters, photos, and videos from relatives for a child to open at future milestones. The founders, a Minneapolis couple named Dave and Amanda, built the service after they found no good way to save family stories for their son. The company charges an annual subscription and bundles three tools: the Archive, the Dispatch, and the Album. Our Fable is an early company built around keeping childhood memories private rather than posted online.
The problem it targets
Many families lose track of photos, stories, and messages meant for a child because they sit scattered across phones, group chats, and social feeds. In Our Fable's view, the photos families take and the stories they share often never reach the child they were meant for. Sharing on social media does not feel personal or private, and things get lost in the group chat. Our Fable frames its archive as a private, lasting alternative to these scattered habits.
What the product does
The service centers on three features. The Archive invites grandparents, parents, and other relatives to answer short prompts, then seals their letters, voice notes, photos, and videos until the child reaches chosen milestones such as a 18th birthday. The Dispatch lets a family send a private update, like a video of first steps, to a chosen circle instead of posting it publicly. The Album turns a weekly reminder to pick photos and write captions into a running record of childhood. Our Fable end-to-end encrypts stored letters and lets a family export everything at any time.
Progress so far
Beyond its core product, Our Fable has built out a public pricing page, a resource library, and a support center. It also has a dedicated page for expecting parents that lets them start an archive before their baby is born. The company also publishes a newsletter called Letters from Our Fable. The newsletter shares notes on memory and family, plus early word on new features and subscriber pricing. These updates suggest an active, ongoing product rather than a one-time launch.
