Help families stay in touch
We built FamilyLeaf as a private place where families can share photos, life updates, contact info, and messages all in one place. It lets families have their own private social network focused on the little moments that build lasting relationships.
We live in San Francisco and plan to keep the company based here after YC.
San Francisco has the best access to talent and relevant networks for building consumer social products.
