The job search is all about your future, so it’s not really something that you want to associate with death. Still, you can find opportunity in even the saddest situations, and that’s exactly what 1000Memories has done. They’re a San Francisco, CA based startup that offers an online “place to remember loved ones.” They’ve built a truly impressive platform for doing so, and they’re offering it for free. Their business model doesn’t appear to have been hammered out completely yet, but it seems that they’re leaning towards a freemium/upsell model. The site was created by three friends who had lost loved ones, so they are their users and they’re fully committed to building “a better way to bring people together and build something special in their [loved ones’] memory.”

What Will You Remember?

To see what 1000Memories is all about, you can take a look at an example site. It includes places for family members and friends to register, leave notes, post photos, share stories, and even start projects (with the ability to take donations on the site). 1000Memories has really delivered an amazing user experience—one that can do justice to the memories of loved ones who have passed away. If you’re as passionate about proper remembrance as 1000Memories’ founders, than you should check out the company’s Jobs page. Right now they’re looking for a Web Engineer and a Designer/Front-End Engineer. Both positions are technical, but I imagine 1000Memories could offer more non-technical positions (i.e. Marketing, Business Development, Community Management, or Customer Support) in the future. It might even be worth reaching out to them now about how you could help.
