Savee turned 9 this summer. Our homepage says "Built by immigrants in America." That's exactly what happened.
The idea came when I moved to New York in 2015. Ramon and I wanted a place to save the things we love, so we built one. The launch happened two years later, from a lake house in California, with our kids on our laps. Very professional operation.
5,000 people came in the first week and saved half a million images. Today, 1.4 million people call Savee home.
Oh, and we did all of it with full-time jobs. Savee was nights and weekends for 7 years. We only made the jump two years ago.
This year we rebuilt the app from the ground up. Portfolios is about to ship, so you can turn your saves into a website you're proud of. And after that: an API and MCP, so Savee can plug into everything you use.
The whole story, in one minute.
There's one more line on our homepage: don't forget to have fun.
The plan for year 10 is the same as it was for year one: build the best place to save the things you love.
We like where Savee is. We like where it's going more. See you there.
