LifeWeb 360

What LifeWeb 360 does

LifeWeb 360, founded in Chicago in 2019-2020 by Ali Briggs, is a digital memorial and commemoration platform originally built to help communities honor loved ones through shared memories, photos, and reflections. In its initial form, the company operated as a free, consumer-facing product that allowed individuals to create standalone tribute pages and organizations to host group commemorations. The platform was bootstrapped, with cumulative disclosed funding of approximately $240,000 from Google for Startups, TechRise Chicago, Kid Venture Capital, Prota Ventures, and Techstars, supplemented by selection into Blackbaud's Social Impact Accelerator in July 2024. The company operated at a small scale (1-10 employees) throughout its independent life, targeting nonprofits, fraternities and sororities, alumni associations, and faith-based communities as its core user base.

In late 2025, LifeWeb 360 was acquired by HistoryIT, a digital preservation company headquartered in Portland, Maine, and the platform was repositioned as MemoryPort. Under the new structure, MemoryPort is offered exclusively as an organization-focused SaaS platform with annual licensing for headquarters and foundations, and the free individual tier has been discontinued (with personal tribute pages remaining accessible through end of 2026 before deactivation). The platform's core technology is a branded, searchable commemoration site builder that integrates with HistoryIT's Odyssey Preservation software, enabling member-based organizations to create tribute and milestone pages while having content preserved to professional digital archival standards; an Internet Archive partnership adds a long-term preservation layer. GTM has shifted from self-serve consumer to direct sales and partner referrals targeting member-based organizations, with distribution channels concentrated in the U.S. Midwest and Northeast and supported through Blackbaud-adjacent nonprofit channels.

Core offering

LifeWeb 360 operates MemoryPort, a digital commemoration and engagement platform that enables member-based and people-centered organizations to create branded, searchable Commemoration Sites for tributes, memories, and milestones. Following HistoryIT's acquisition in late 2025, the platform transitioned from a free individual product to an organization-focused annual licensing model and integrates with HistoryIT's Odyssey Preservation software for professional digital preservation standards.

Product overview

LifeWeb 360 operated as a digital memorial and tribute platform, originally offering both free individual tribute pages and organizational group commemoration features. Following its acquisition by HistoryIT in late 2025, the platform evolved into MemoryPort — an organization-focused digital commemoration platform that helps nonprofits, alumni associations, faith-based organizations, and fraternities/sororities preserve and honor member stories and legacies. MemoryPort integrates with HistoryIT's Odyssey Preservation software to ensure professional digital preservation standards. The original LifeWeb 360 free individual product offering has been discontinued, with personal tribute pages remaining accessible through end of 2026 before deactivation.

Scale indicators3 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Emerging players

• Cake (cake.co): Cake is an end-of-life planning and memorialization platform offering tribute pages, shared memories, and obituary tools. It overlaps with LifeWeb 360's original consumer memorial positioning and increasingly serves community and organization use cases.
• Kudoboard: Kudoboard is a group card and recognition platform used by organizations for celebrations, retirements, and memorials. It targets a similar buyer (HR, alumni, community managers) with digital tribute use cases but emphasizes ephemeral recognition over long-term preservation.

Broad incumbents

• Legacy.com: Legacy.com is the largest U.S. online memorial and obituary network. It is broadly comparable as a digital memorial/tribute destination serving both individuals and funeral-provider partners, though it operates at much greater scale and is consumer/obituary-led rather than organization-led.
• Blackbaud (in-house memorial / engagement products): Blackbaud is a large nonprofit software suite (CRM, fundraising, engagement) used by many of the same member-based organizations MemoryPort targets. Although Blackbaud ran LifeWeb 360's accelerator, its broader engagement products could compete with or complement MemoryPort inside nonprofit IT stacks.

Direct peers

• Tribute Archive: Tribute Archive is a digital memorial platform focused on storytelling, tributes, and shared remembrances for families and communities. It overlaps directly with LifeWeb 360's original product positioning around collective memory and tribute pages.
• GatheringUs: GatheringUs is an online memorial and funeral livestream platform offering tribute pages, virtual services, and shared memories. It is a direct functional peer in the online memorial space and competes for both consumer and community organization use cases.
• MuchLoved.com: MuchLoved is a long-standing online memorial website builder that lets families and communities create tribute pages with photos, stories, and candles. It is a direct functional peer to LifeWeb 360's original individual tribute offering, though it serves consumers directly rather than member-based organizations.
• Forever Missed: Forever Missed provides free and premium memorial websites with photo galleries, stories, and virtual candles. It competes head-to-head with LifeWeb 360's discontinued consumer tribute pages and overlaps in features such as searchable profiles and shared remembrances.
• Memories.net: Memories.net offers online memorial websites with shared stories, photos, and guest books. It targets a similar consumer memorial and tribute use case as LifeWeb 360's legacy free individual product offering.

Others

• HistoryIT: HistoryIT is the parent company that acquired LifeWeb 360 and operates the Odyssey Preservation digital archiving software now bundled with MemoryPort. It is an enabling/parent relationship rather than a competitor, and provides the preservation infrastructure underpinning MemoryPort.
