About Meet Jane
In 2014, my mother, Jane, was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s, and I was faced with the realization that her memory would soon be gone. My mother’s fading memory prompted me, an enthusiast of technology, to find a way to better digitally preserve her for future generations. I interviewed my mother by preparing questions and emailing them to her. The phone calls were recorded and uploaded to a podcasting service.
During my mother’s funeral service in 2020, these recordings narrated the slideshow of her life. Hearing her own voice recount her life’s story and share her words of wisdom was an incredibly moving and powerful experience that inspired Meet Jane.
Meet Jane was born to help people make meaningful connections with loved ones by capturing their essence and sharing their stories authentically. Our cutting-edge technology and storytelling methods preserve memories and ensure legacies live on.
Sincerely,
Peter Busch

Favorite family tradition
Nestled in the quaint town of Twin Lakes, Colorado, stands a mountain home built by my grandparents more than four decades ago. The town holds a special place in our family history, with roots dating back nearly a century. Countless cherished memories from my childhood and adulthood are entwined with this idyllic haven. Now, with a family of my own, I eagerly anticipate our annual trips to this special place with Niqui, Cooper, and Tom.
