| Description | A SaaS platform that enables indigenous communities and cultural institutions to digitize, annotate, and safely store intangible cultural heritage: oral histories, songs, rituals, language recordings, photographs, and 3D scans of artifacts. Built-in AI provides automatic transcription, translation into major languages, and semantic tagging. The platform ensures data sovereignty—communities control access rights. A VR/AR module allows immersive virtual visits to heritage sites threatened by climate change. The platform can be white-labeled for museums. |
| Monetization | Tiered institutional subscriptions ($500–$5,000/month based on storage and features); per-project digitization services ($2,000–$20,000); grant facilitation (platform takes 10% of grant funds administered); VR experience licensing to schools ($2 per student/year). |
