Evergram

Evergram is a scheduled messaging application designed for sending digital content to be opened at a future date. Founded in 2011 by Chris Halim and Jeff Caden, the San Francisco-based company, formerly known as Rinkle, aimed to create a new communication category centered on 'future messaging'. The platform allows individuals to create and schedule the delivery of messages containing photos, videos, or text, effectively creating digital time capsules for life events. These keepsakes are organized into an online album that recipients can access at the predetermined time.

The service targets individuals who want to send meaningful communications to friends and family for future milestones such as birthdays, anniversaries, or graduations. Users can compose a message, attach media, and set a specific unlock date, ensuring the content remains inaccessible until that moment. The application is available on web, Android, and iOS platforms. The business operates in the Communication Software and Application Software markets, with a focus on consumers (B2C).

Financially, Evergram has secured a total of $2.49 million in funding over three seed rounds. The initial funding round occurred in February 2012, and the most recent was in July 2013 for $1.55 million, led by Syncom Venture Partners. Other investors include North Bay Angels. The company was noted as generating revenue in April 2021, though specifics of its monetization strategy, such as whether it's a paid app, freemium, or subscription-based, are not publicly detailed.
