Deep Technology · Digital Heritage
Bottle on the Sea is building the infrastructure for humanity's digital heritage. We combine AI, cryptographic provenance and long-term archival research into a secure platform that protects personal and cultural memory across generations.
Entry market: families and high-value private archives. Institutional and enterprise programmes follow once the platform is validated.
The Problem
Our record of ourselves has never been so vast, nor so fragile. It lives on hardware that fails, in companies that close, in formats nobody will read in fifty years.
"We are creating more memories than ever before, yet we have no permanent infrastructure to preserve them."
Drives fail, accounts close, formats rot. A lifetime of images can vanish in a single silent corruption.
The services holding our memories today were not designed to outlive us — or even outlive a decade.
Stories scatter across a dozen apps and devices until nobody can assemble the whole life again.
Languages, rituals and archives disappear faster than institutions can digitise them.
Why now
Three curves intersect for the first time: the explosion of personal data, the maturity of AI, and the collapsing cost of cryptographic proof and long-term archival storage.
A family's entire life now sits in accounts, phones and platforms that nobody controls on a hundred-year horizon.
People, places and event recognition, plus natural-language search, are now available at reasonable cost.
Generative content makes provenance and file integrity a precondition for credibility.
The largest intergenerational transfer of assets and archives in history has already begun.
The Solution
Bottle on the Sea is a single, permanent home for what a person, a family or a civilization chooses to keep. Three technologies hold it together.
Memory, understood.
AI organises memories, recognises people and events, builds living timelines and lets you interact with your own history — asking questions instead of scrolling folders.
Memory, proven.
An immutable record of authenticity, ownership and provenance. Every memory carries verifiable origin and a secure path of digital inheritance.
Memory, for millennia.
Synthetic DNA encodes information at extraordinary density and stability. Our research track targets ultra-long-term preservation far beyond any magnetic or solid-state medium.
The Future
Preservation is the foundation, not the destination. The long-term goal is to turn archived memory into something you can enter, question and feel — an experience rather than a folder.
Speak with a curated model of a life — grounded strictly in the archive it was given.
A shared, permissioned vault that grows across generations rather than resetting each one.
Volumetric reconstruction of places, rooms and moments you can walk back into.
Institutions rebuild lost sites and traditions from fragmented archival evidence.
Digital Legacy
You decide what is released, to whom, and when. The vault waits — patiently, for years or for decades — and then delivers.
Seal a message today; it opens on an eighteenth birthday.
A life story released on an anniversary, a wedding, a centenary.
Transfer custody of the vault under verified digital inheritance.
Donate historical archives to museums, universities and foundations.
"Your memories are not only for today. They are a gift to tomorrow."
Security
Cryptographic proof of origin and integrity for every stored artefact.
Content encrypted in transit and at rest, with keys under the owner's control.
Explicit, auditable custody — who holds a memory, and who may unseal it.
We research security approaches designed to remain resilient in the era of quantum computing.
Use Cases
Preserve generations of memories.
Photographs, voices, letters and oral history held as one continuous family record.
Protect human history and traditions.
Museums and cultural bodies safeguard collections beyond the lifetime of any format.
Preserve company knowledge and identity.
Founding stories, institutional memory and archives that survive every migration.
Protect endangered cultures and stories.
Testimony and language from communities at risk of disappearing entirely.
Planned Business Model
Availability will follow the MVP and pilot phases.
For a first vault
For a whole family
For generations & institutions
Planned B2C subscriptions · B2B services below
A curated, white-glove service: selected memories encoded for ultra-long-term preservation and sealed in a physical capsule with its own verifiable record. Research & development track.
Long-term programmes with museums, universities, foundations and enterprises — archive ingestion, custody frameworks and joint research.
Roadmap
Nothing here waits on magic technology. What is missing is the funding to assemble, secure, test and commercialise existing components seriously.
DNA, holography and post-quantum cryptography are long-term R&D and differentiation tracks — not prerequisites for the first release.
Product Concept
Three realistic screens showing how the vault works. This is not a demo of a live platform — it is a conceptual prototype under development.
Import photos, letters, video and recordings.
A life narrative built by AI from the archive.
Beneficiaries, access conditions and scheduled messages.
Concept demo
An animated mockup of the interface we are funding. The screens are conceptual — the platform is under construction.
Mockup — under development
Sequence: ingestion, AI indexing, inheritance.
Team
Bottle on the Sea is led by its founders and built with specialist partners across AI, security, long-term archival systems and biotechnology. The pre-seed round enables the core engineering team and first pilot programmes.
Founder & CEO
Leads the company's vision, product strategy, technical architecture, fundraising and strategic partnerships. Olivier combines digital-finance, technology and product-development experience with a long-term conviction: personal memory deserves infrastructure designed to outlive platforms, devices and generations.
Co-Founder & COO
Leads operations, company governance, financial coordination and legal readiness for Bottle on the Sea Sp. z o.o. She turns the company's long-term vision into an operational structure capable of engaging partners, managing pilots and building trusted customer relationships.
DNA Archival Research Track
Bottle on the Sea is engaging specialist biotechnology and archival-storage partners to assess the technical, economic and custody requirements of synthetic-DNA preservation. Partner identities and scope of collaboration are disclosed to qualified investors during due diligence.
Post-Round Appointments
The pre-seed round funds the recruitment or appointment of technical leadership and the first engineering team across security, AI indexing, cloud infrastructure and archival systems. The initial MVP is designed around validated, available technologies; DNA storage remains a separate long-term research track.
Partner names are disclosed to investors under due diligence.
Investors
Memory understanding, retrieval and conversational access to personal history.
DNA data storage research for archives measured in centuries, not device cycles.
Authenticity, ownership and programmable inheritance as native properties.
Consumer legacy, cultural institutions and enterprise archives converge on one missing layer: permanence.

What you are funding
Capital is deployed to retire identifiable technical, regulatory and commercial risk.
From vision to platform
Bottle on the Sea has defined the technological and product architecture for a new category of digital heritage infrastructure. We are now seeking pre-seed funding and strategic partners to build the MVP, launch validated pilot programmes and establish the foundations of long-term digital preservation.
