Archive intake / Founder submissions

Submit a Story for the Record

We consider founder stories from every market, especially records that reveal consequential decisions, overlooked context, and the reality behind building.

What We Look For

Specific decisions rather than generic success narratives; founders who can speak honestly about uncertainty; stories shaped by a particular market or culture; and work that created durable value for a community, industry, or customer.

Failure, survival, pivots, restraint, and patient company building are as relevant as rapid growth.

What to Send

Include the founder and company name, relevant links, the decision or period that deserves documentation, your relationship to the story, and whether private artifacts or interview access may be available.

The Process

Submissions are reviewed for archival relevance. Selected records move through preliminary research, source collection, founder contact where appropriate, factual review, production, and publication.
