We are a small, deliberate team based across New York, London and Lisbon — building one product, slowly, for the long arc of a family.
In 2021, two of our founders sat in a hospital corridor and could not produce a healthcare proxy. The paperwork existed. It was somewhere. The folder was on a shelf, twenty miles away. The decision could not wait.
That night, the first sketches of Legacy Sage were drawn on a napkin. The name was chosen later. The mission was chosen that night: no family should ever lose a moment that mattered because the paperwork was somewhere else.
Athena Foundry is the company we wished had existed for our own families. We are building it carefully, for yours.
If a grandmother and a tax attorney cannot both use the same page, we redesign the page.
We do not measure success in daily active users. We measure it in moments saved.
We will never sell, rent, advertise against or anonymize-and-resell family data.
Client-side encryption is the default; server-readable data is the exception, named explicitly.
Every architectural decision is reviewed against a fifty-year horizon. Trends are not invited.
We will not commercialize, gamify or notify against the Heartbeat Protocol. It exists for one reason only.
