Your own memories in book form.

Many people dream of this.

But how do you merge all the notes together?

Albert Brückmann wants to enrich the world of books with his start-up.

Cologne – In the fifth episode of the new season "The Lion's Den" there is an addition.

The guest lioness Diana zur Löwen is on the road as a content creator and influencer.

With more than 1 million followers on Instagram, she has a track record of social media marketing.

Whether you like Albert Brückmann's "Meminto Stories" start-up idea will be revealed on Monday.

"Meminto Stories": memories in book form in "The Lion's Den"

"Life writes the most beautiful stories and Meminto Stories captures them forever," says Albert Brückmann about his start-up.

"Meminto Stories is a digital assistant that helps people remember all the important moments in their lives, capture them and have them printed in a book." Albert came up with the idea when his grandmother passed away and lots of loose sheets and notes left behind on which she had laid her life.

Although Albert and his family had heard many stories from his grandmother, he realized how difficult it was to put structure into it.

This should now be easier to do with Meminto Stories.

After online registration, a virtual interview starts, which can be conducted via PC, tablet or smartphone app.

A large database with numerous questions on the most diverse stages of life is accessed.

"Meminto Stories": 250,000 euros for a 15 percent share in the company

In the course of the process, however, users always have the option of skipping a question or adding additional questions if a question does not suit their circumstances.

"The possibility of working in groups also brings family members closer together on a project like this," says the 38-year-old.

The personal answers then create stories that, with additional pictures and video links, become a book.

The hard cover in A5 format can contain up to 300 pages and is printed in colour.

“I want to make the world of books more personal and accessible.

Because every person in this world has a story,” says the founder.

For further product development, e.g.

B. Integration of artificial intelligence and marketing activities, Albert needs 250,000 euros and offers 15 percent of the company shares.

Whether Albert Brückmann will succeed in capturing the lions with his book-related start-up remains to be seen.

The idea behind a biography that is created together with the family is definitely worth a closer look.

The episode will be broadcast on Vox on Monday, September 26 at 8:15 p.m.
