SHARED CAPSULE
A Shared Capsule brings together your stories and the stories of their people — compiled into a single page that captures who they are.
1
You answer prompts
Who they are, your stories, and the details that are distinctly them. Takes as little as 15 minutes in one sitting, or a few minutes at a time. Come back whenever you have more to add.
2
You invite contributors
Invite the people who know them — each person answers their own set of prompts privately. We provide a ready-to-send message. You don't have to explain or organize anything.
3
We compile the draft
After we receive all contributions, you'll get a private link to a first draft. Review it, leave notes, request changes — as many rounds as it takes.
4
Your capsule goes live
After your approval, the capsule is published — a password protected digital page with compiled stories, quotes and photos. Private by default, you control who sees it.
what it becomes
This is a sample of what a completed Shared Capsule looks like — the actual product. Your capsule will have the same structure, built entirely from what you and your contributors share. Private by default; you control who can see it.

opening
Jean Graunke was the kind of person who made a room feel complete without making a sound. She was the oyster stew and the Christmas Eve candlelight and the way a kitchen smelled in December. She was a gardener, a keeper of things, a woman who said less than she knew and gave more than she said. The people who loved her are many, and they remember her differently — but they remember the same warmth.
memories & stories
"Every Christmas she made the same oyster stew from a recipe she'd never written down. When I asked her once how she knew the proportions, she said, 'You just know.' She was right. I've never been able to replicate it."
Brittany Graunke · granddaughter
"She had a garden that should have been too ambitious for the climate. She grew things that didn't belong there — and somehow they thrived. I think she just refused to believe they wouldn't."
Margaret Graunke · daughter
"She wrote letters. Real ones, on paper, with her handwriting that looked like it had somewhere to be. I still have the one she sent when I graduated. I've moved four times since then and it's always come with me."

who it's for
A milestone birthday. A retirement. The people who know them best — family, old friends, colleagues — each one contributing their version of who this person is and their stories of times together.
A mentor. A coach. A teacher. At the end of a year or just because. Gather the people who know them — teammates, students, colleagues — and let each one contribute what they know.
When someone has passed and the stories are at risk of fading. The people who loved them are still holding pieces of the picture. A capsule is a reason to gather them now — and a place to keep adding.
