About LifeWeb 360
LifeWeb 360’s purpose is to awaken our empathetic world.
We help people through one of the hardest times of their life - when a loved one is at the end of their life or has died. LifeWeb is a digital space where communities can share memories of a loved one and celebrate their life. Friends and family can share stories, photos, and videos that are organized to create context and meaning, and don't remind you that your person died, they remind you how they lived.
Each of us touches so many people during our life; LifeWeb harnesses the outpouring of love that happens when someone passes to capture their essence in an authentic way, honor them, and give comfort to their family that they were seen in this world. See an example LifeWeb here (lifeweb360.com).
We are a remote-first, women-led company and have been growing as communities are unable to come together physically to mourn a loved one. We’ve been getting press for the work we’re doing, including in Chicago Inno, the New York Times, USA Today, HuffPost, SF Chronicle, and US News amp; World Report, and received a $50k investment from Google for Startups to round out our friends and family round. And, we were featured on Chicago Inno’s list of 21 startups to watch in 2021.
