Thanks so much for the kind words. I'm working on some new packaging. Nursing homes tend to be pretty sensitive about HIPAA and mail. I had a dream to get NanaGram into nursing homes as a group activity, hammered on sales a while and put it on the back burner. I'll probably revisit it soon. The general idea is people would open their photos together, making for a way for residents and team members to get to know each other better. All of the photos would come in one box to avoid delivery issues.

All that said, I'm working on some new packaging and will reach out to you by email to get you hooked up in a beta so we can improve your delivery.

Thank you very much for thinking this way. This is the sort of entrepreneurship that's genuinely good for the world.


Add chocolate to the boxes ;-)

And a note: "take care of the grandmas/grandpas and also make sure these photos gets delivered to their rooms and there probably be another box next month."

I'm joking but I feel I'm not too far away from a useful idea.


It's a lovely idea, but with forethought into allergy concerns in medical facilities and shared homes (especially in international market), as well as maybe import/health code related stuff, I wouldn't sidetrack the original vision for it.


I like the idea of adding more goodies to the shipments! Hoping to get to that soon. That, and greeting cards.

The key challenge with the experiment was a sales challenge. At the time, I didn't have too much runway. The sales cycle was longer than I could afford.

But speaking of chocolate, one idea I had was to send giant chocolate bars to the nursing home directors to get their attention :)
