Celebrate Every Company Win Together

Picture this: Your entire team — from the CEO who believed in the vision to the intern who stayed late debugging — all sharing what this milestone means to them. Sarah from marketing writes about the sleepless nights before launch. The engineering team records a group video celebrating the code that changed everything. Even your first customer sends a voice note about watching your company grow. These aren't just corporate announcements — they're the human stories behind your success.

Why Companies Choose Ownstory for Milestones
Unlike public social media or corporate newsletters, your milestone stories are private and permanent — owned by your company forever. Plus, easily pool funds for a team celebration gift.
Private & Permanent
This isn't social media. No public feeds, no algorithms, no strangers. Your story stays private — only people you invite can see it. And it lasts forever, not just 24 hours.
Not like Instagram stories that vanish, or Facebook posts anyone can see.
Group Gift Built In
Pool money from the group, and let the birthday person pick the gift card they actually want. No more guessing, no more duplicate gifts. Delivered straight to their mobile wallet.
$5, $10, $50 — every bit counts
Amazon, Uber Eats, Apple, Spotify & more
Apple Wallet or Google Wallet — tap to use
Messages + gift card together in one beautiful story. No separate apps needed.

“When we hit our Series A milestone, I created an Ownstory for our team. 43 people contributed — from our first intern to our board members. The reveal at our celebration dinner had everyone in tears. Now it's part of our company lore, and new hires always ask to read 'the Series A story.'”
