Words from our fabulous founder, Jennifer, as she shares her own Keepster moments. The good, the bad, the funny, the ridiculous ... she knows why we keep the messages we do, because she does it, too! Hear from her as she shares the moments and messages that make Keepster worth keeping around.

How Keepster taught me to open my arms wider.
Embracing the reality: though we’re a tech company, our real business is about humanity.
I never saw myself here…
Founding a tech startup, living in the world of data, MailChimp, audience personas and ROI’s. Nor did I ever see myself navigating a startup through a global pandemic. But the time has arrived for me to reflect upon when the unimaginable happened. A planet-wide occurrence that must have touched almost every person, ca...

I felt a moment’s hesitation, followed by the slightest shiver of guilt.
As one who is not practiced in the pleasures of voyeurism it only took a second for me to peep, and then feel compelled to fully read every one of the texts in the photographs accompanying the Financial Times article, Every Text Tells a Story, about photographer Jeff Me...

The 'badass women" in Congress: a Sisterhood of Texters
Hats off Badasses! Of course, they’re texting. That’s what friends do.
Legislation by Text?
This New York Times headline got me Veterans Turned Lawmakers Form a Political Band of Like Minds, April 7, 2019. Why?
The article points out that of the 67 new Democrats in Congress, 10 came out of the military or intelligence agencies. Very interesting, right?

If anyone out there knows Amy Schumer….
CEO’ing and ‘fishing’ everyday, doing everything possible to try get word of Keepster to Amy Schumer and Rachel Feinstein.
As CEO & Founder, I spend all day, every day, thinking about Keepster. And though you’d never guess it, I also think of myself as a fisherman*!

The post that’s been so hard to write
With trepidation, I told her about Keepster, that at the very least by using the app she could keep all her mom’s texts safe.
This is the post that I’ve been avoiding. This is the one that’s been staring me down, the elephant in the room. This is the blog about loss. It’s about the loss of loved ones, the words that they leave behind and our enduring need to keep those words and memories close.

Texting conversations which were spoken of, those precious testimonies ... deserve to be saved forever.
I’ve written a great deal about my personal story and relationships, and how they inspired me to create Keepster. But the more I keep my eyes and ears open to the world, the stronger my conviction about the need to preserve texting conversations grows.
