For the
Moments the Matter

The idea for Aeternum was born from a simple yet profound question asked by a five-year-old daughter.

The founder, Aaron Tong, was reading stories to his daughter when she asked him to tell a story about his own childhood. He agreed and then suggested that when she grew up, she could tell his story to her own children. Her response was the catalyst for Aeternum: “Okay, but what if I don’t remember your story when I grow up?”

This realization created a deep anxiety that something as important as a person’s life, memories, and values could be “gone as if it never existed”. Determined not to let that happen, the founder was inspired to create a solution.

Aeternum was founded as a digital memory preservation system, a time capsule designed to safely and securely record and pass down memories, messages, traditions, and values. The company’s core purpose is to ensure that a family’s legacy and love propagate down from generation to generation so that none of it would be forgotten.
