Remento Memories Keepsake Book: What Happened To The Brand After Shark Tank

Almost everyone has some sort of keepsake book, whether it's a photo album or saving your favorite memories the old-school way by making a scrapbook. However, many don't have the time or patience to make one describing each pic through written words, and that's where Remento comes in. Founder Charlie Greene began recording his mom's stories in 2017 after she was diagnosed with cancer, and four years later, he came up with the idea for his company. "I sat down, hit record, and we started talking. I asked questions about her childhood, her first job, and her favorite memories. It was magical — hearing her laugh, seeing her stories in print. But the process of collecting those stories and transforming them into something tangible was tedious," he shared on Remento's site.

Through Remento, users can verbally share their stories using prompts, and the program, starting at $99, will transform them into a transcript. It's extremely user-friendly, with no logins or downloading apps required. Additionally, you can always edit anything and save the story on the platform to share with friends and family. Greene's product was already a great idea, but he needed some help to grow his business, which is why he took a gamble on "Shark Tank." It wasn't his business pitch that captivated the business moguls, though — the poignant story behind the entrepreneur's company had the Sharks in tears, and that may very well be the reason one of them invested.

During Charlie Greene's Remento pitch on Season 16 of "Shark Tank," his description of the keepsake memory book had the investors on the fence. It wasn't until Daniel Lubetzky asked for the story behind it that their interest perked up. Greene told them that his father had died on September 11, 2001, and wanted to preserve his memories, which brought tears to Lubetzky and Barbara Corcoran's eyes. The founder of Remento continued to say that when his mom was diagnosed with lung cancer years later, he didn't want to pass up the chance to record her memories.

Greene was three years into his company at the time of his "Shark Tank" appearance, and wanted $300,000 for 5% equity. Kevin O'Leary and Lubetzky wanted at least 15%, while Corcoran and Lori Greiner, whose face has transformed since her early "Shark Tank" days, were out. The former journalist didn't want to go under a certain number, so when Mark Cuban offered the entire amount for 10% while agreeing to an advisory share, it was a done deal.

Remento may have been on its way up as a growing company, but Mark Cuban's help propelled the business even further. After Charlie Greene's "Shark Tank" pitch, he shared an update the following season to reveal, "It's been less than a year since we closed our deal with Mark, and in that period of time, Remento has exceeded $7 million in sales." Cuban stated, "I invested in Remento because everybody loves memories, and I'm a big believer in family history and genealogy." While still keeping the same AI model, Cuban helped Greene grow online, further expanding his customer base.

And for those wondering just how much time the "Shark Tank" investors spend with the entrepreneurs, Greene shared on Reddit, "Mark has been an absolute delight to work with. I remember watching Mark's MasterClass and learning that years ago he decided he wouldn't do phone calls or meetings ... just emails. And when I say the guy is an email machine, I'm not kidding. I don't think I've ever waited more than 45 minutes to get a response from Mark on email." He continued, "And his team is fantastic. We get together with them a few times a year, usually around large strategic decisions or when there's an ask for something specific, like an introduction. But they are truly, honestly best in class. A dream investor."

Some brands, like Mikki Bey Eyelash Extensions, shut down after "Shark Tank," but Remento is still in business as of August 2026. According to The Shark Tank Blog, the company is estimated to be worth over $4.5 million as of 2025 and has 80,000 Instagram followers. Charlie Greene remains the CEO of Remento and runs it alongside his co-founder Alexandre Massonneau, per Tracxn. The staff is growing as well, with 17 employees on the team to date.

Remento has gotten rave reviews overall, but there are still wrinkles that need to be ironed out. For one, because everything is digital, older user may have some issues. "The recording process turned out to be a little more difficult than I had hoped, but not because of Remento itself. It was more of a technical challenge situation (my grandma lives in a rural area with bad phone reception, doesn't have internet, and kept having some kind of issue with her Bluetooth hearing aids messing up the audio). Our solution to that has been interviewing her in person with my phone," a user shared on Reddit. Another complained, "I have repeatedly tried to cancel my Remento account and the company makes it EXTREMELY DIFFICULT to do so. In my opinion, I would not trust this company and something is wrong with a business that makes it virtually impossible to cancel." Still, Remento continues to get a thumbs up from many users, and it looks like Greene has plans to expand his dreams even further.

Remento is a fairly new company, having sold its first memory book in 2023, but folks are already wanting it to go global. A potential customer asked in May 2026 if the platform was available in languages other than English, and the company responded, "Remento currently supports both English and Spanish. Our Speech-to-Story technology can process recordings in either language, and you can even edit the written stories later if you'd like to translate or make adjustments. More languages are on the way soon!"

The platform continues to grow, with Remento partnering up with various AARP programs. Co-founder Charlie Greene shared with AARP that the company has recorded over one million memories as of June 2026, and there's still more to come. "We are also increasingly growing the B2B2C side of our business. Right now, Remento is sold directly to consumers, and we're increasingly looking to partner with organizations that are supporting older adults during moments of transition or helping them during important life moments — for example, groups who provide care for older adults or who help them with financial advising or estate planning," he revealed. It looks like Greene isn't stopping anytime soon, and this is one "Shark Tank" story that is looking to be a huge success.
