Heirloom recently launched a first-of-its-kind platform to help return ownership of memory, data, and one’s digital presence overall back to individuals themselves. Founded by veteran technology entrepreneur Angela Benton, Heirloom aims to build a trusted memory layer for human-AI interaction, enabling individuals to secure and control their digital memory. The innovation platform is a welcome and needed step toward advancing human-centered technology.
Angela Benton, a visionary leader in ethical data ownership, has made profound impacts on how AI and data are utilized across all sectors and industries. Her expertise has helped founders and institutions to successfully raise over $150 million in capital. Simultaneously, she advocates for people-first models of technology. Heirloom is just one story from a growing movement centered on regenerative technology, gratitude, and honoring our shared home with sustainability practices.
Heirloom's platform allows individuals to store and control their digital memory, addressing growing concerns about data ownership and privacy in the digital age. The company has released its public pre-sale, welcoming users and advocates to join them in exploring and advancing this new approach to safely navigating and controlling one’s digital life.
"We're building connective tissue—between people, memory, and meaning." - Angela Benton
Angela Benton is a visionary entrepreneur, public thinker, and longtime advocate for ethical innovation. She writes to inspire people to make sure that technology serves to amplify our shared humanity—not to increase our isolation.
"We're at a turning point where AI can either deepen our disconnection or amplify our humanity," - Angela Benton
Heirloom is conceived to make sure that technology only acts to amplify our humanity. Our platform is meant to be an affirmative stance against letting data and creativity become their unrefined raw material for systems people are powerless to control.
"Heirloom is designed to ensure it does the latter. It’s not just a tool—it’s a stance. A refusal to let our data, our creativity, and our essence become raw material for systems we don’t control. This is memory with agency. Technology with a conscience. A future that puts people—not platforms—at the center.” - Angela Benton
