ForgetWeNot

Austin Cooley & Niko Ralf Cunningham

ForgetWeNot is an experience. It is you and your closest friends' private emotional repository—an intimate shared memory bank that's always on, never cloudy, and full of life's unscripted moments. Our streaming technology makes every group activity; every bar night; every birthday party; and every record-club meetup a historical event. The team consists of Austin Cooley, Niko Ralf Cunningham, and a deeply talented and disciplined engineering team focused on archiving the world's memories.

Austin Cooley is a technology entrepreneur with a passion for education, music, and life-changing software and technologies. He is the co-founder of Youtorial (www.youtorialmarketplace.com)—a marketplace for software tutorials—and has extensive experience in creating rich media web applications. He has worked as a software engineer with Lockheed Martin, and he holds a BS in computer engineering from the University of Florida. While earning his degree, Austin volunteered his time coordinating SECME, an engineering competition for K-12 students that focuses on hands-on STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) learning techniques. Austin also was awarded a scholarship to study sustainable energy technologies in Freiberg, Germany.
