Encrypted ownership
Sovereign
Your archive remains under your control, not trapped inside a platform.
Built in Europe · Human-controlled · Designed for generations
Preserving
Humanity’s Memory.
Europe’s pioneering Digital Memory Vault.
A promise of continuity: keeping what matters readable, verifiable and transmissible across generations.
So the people, stories and moments that shaped us can outlive every device, platform and generation.
Not another cloud. A sovereign, encrypted and cryptographically verifiable vault designed to protect, organise and transmit the memories that must outlive us.
A new category
Not cloud storage. Memory infrastructure.
Cloud storage keeps files available. Bottle on the Sea is designed to keep human memory intelligible, authentic, transferable and accessible across generations.
A file is not a legacy.
A folder is not a family archive.
A subscription is not permanence.
AI memory intelligence
Readable
People, places, voices and moments become a coherent life timeline.
Cryptographic provenance
Verifiable
Authenticity, origin and custody can be verified over time.
Programmable legacy
Transmissible
Memories, instructions and access can reach the right people at the right moment.
Decentralised by trust, not by hype.
Our architecture is designed so that no single platform, device or party should become the sole point of failure for a family’s memory.
In 30 seconds
The whole company, in four lines.
A promise of continuity: keeping what matters readable, verifiable and transmissible across generations.
The problem
Personal and institutional memory is scattered across services that expire, get sold or shut down. Nothing is built to last a century.
The product
A private digital vault: encrypted storage, AI that organises a lifetime of files, and rules that transmit them to the people you choose.
The business model
Subscriptions for families, licences and preservation contracts for institutions, notaries and archives.
Where we are
Pre-seed. The vault ships first on validated technologies; DNA-on-silicon storage — already mastered by our team — is our long-term preservation layer, not a prerequisite for the MVP. Notarial pilot in preparation.
We fund the vault, security and the pilots first. Everything else is a differentiation trajectory, not a distraction.
The product
One vault. Human control. Verifiable trust.
MVP scopeEverything a first user gets, in one place: secure ingestion, AI organisation, transmission rules, and a governance model that keeps decisions with people, never with the machine.
01
The vault
Encrypted ingestion of photos, documents, video and voice, with deduplication, archival copies and natural-language search.
02
Human control over AI
AI proposes, people decide. Nothing is published, shared or released without an explicit human instruction.
03
Security
End-to-end encryption, key separation, integrity logging and a post-quantum migration path.
04
Governance
European hosting, GDPR by design, documented retention, exportable data and no resale of anything you entrust to us.
For Julian, when he turns 25
A voice message from his father, photographs from his earliest years, a letter in his handwriting, and a short AI-built timeline explaining the family story behind them.

- Notarial digital legacy pilot
- GDPR, contracts and succession framework
Next
12–36 months- Legacy layer: beneficiaries, consent, integrity log
- Institutional offer: archives, museums, foundations
- First premium capsules on the mastered DNA-on-silicon substrate
Tomorrow
Beyond- Century-scale preservation contracts
- Post-quantum cryptography as the default
- Holographic restitution of preserved memory

MVP vault: encrypted ingestion, AI classification, search and timeline
Mastered capability
DNA-on-silicon: mastered, not experimental.
The vault ships first on validated technologies. DNA-on-silicon storage is already mastered by our team — it is not required for the MVP. It becomes our long-term preservation layer for century-scale archives.
We fund the vault, security and the pilots first. Everything else is a differentiation trajectory, not a distraction.
Holography and post-quantum cryptography remain R&D horizons — none are prerequisites for the first release.

ETERNITY
The infrastructure for what comes next.
Bottle on the Sea preserves what matters. ETERNITY is our own decentralised infrastructure network, being developed to help preserve it across generations — and to supply distributed computing power and energy for the technologies of tomorrow.
MEMORY
Preserve what matters.
Long-term infrastructure designed to help preserve digital memories, knowledge, heritage and identity across generations.
Explore Digital Permanence →COMPUTE
Power what comes next.
ETERNITY is also energy and compute: our own decentralised network of privately hosted computing infrastructure, deploying physical computing capacity across homes, businesses and other private locations.
Discover ETERNITY Nodes →ETERNITY Nodes
Distributed infrastructure. Privately hosted.
ETERNITY Nodes are physical computing systems deployed in privately owned or privately operated locations. Each Node becomes part of a distributed infrastructure network designed to provide computing capacity to organisations developing the next generation of AI and digital technologies.
Decentralised by nature
Today, the world's data and computing power sit in a handful of giant data centres — one centre decides, and one centre can fail. A beehive works differently.
Build
Some bees construct the comb — the shared structure every other role depends on.
Gather
Some bees collect what the colony needs, from many sources, in many directions.
Process
Some bees transform and store what was gathered, so it can be used later.
Protect
Some bees guard the hive, keeping the whole intact against threats.
No single bee commands the colony. Every role is shared — and if one bee stops, the others continue. ETERNITY applies the same principle to infrastructure: capacity distributed across many private nodes, with no single point of command and no single point of failure.

Founders, specialist partners and execution plan.
Bottle on the Sea is led by its founders and built with specialist partners across AI, security, long-term archival systems and biotechnology. The pre-seed round enables the core engineering team and first pilot programmes.
O. Aleksander
Co-Founder and Project Manager
Leads the company's vision, product strategy, technical architecture, fundraising and strategic partnerships. O. Aleksander combines digital-finance, technology and product-development experience with a long-term conviction: personal memory deserves infrastructure designed to outlive platforms, devices and generations.
J. Yushkevich
Co-Founder and CVO
J. Yushkevich is Co-Founder of Bottle on the Sea and a guardian of its founding vision. She brings trusted perspective to the strategic and human decisions shaping the company, helping ensure that the venture remains faithful to its original conviction as it grows.
DNA-on-Silicon Storage
Mastered Core Technology
Our founding team already masters DNA data storage on silicon plaques: digital information encoded in synthetic DNA fixed on silicon substrates, for archives measured in centuries. The pre-seed round turns this mastered capability into an industrial preservation process, with specialist partners disclosed to qualified investors under due diligence.
Technical Leadership & Engineering
In Formation — Advisors Engaged
Technical leadership is being secured now: the company is engaging specialist advisors in cryptography, cloud security and archival systems to review the architecture before build. The pre-seed round converts that advisory layer into a permanent technical lead and first engineering team across security, AI indexing and infrastructure. The MVP is designed around validated, available technologies; DNA-on-silicon storage is already mastered — it becomes our Permanence layer, not a research gamble.
Partner names are disclosed to investors under due diligence.
Investors
"Bottle on the Sea is building the infrastructure for humanity's digital heritage."
AI
Memory understanding, retrieval and conversational access to personal history.
DNA on silicon
Data storage in synthetic DNA on silicon plaques — already mastered by our team, for archives measured in centuries.
Blockchain
Authenticity, ownership and programmable inheritance as native properties.
Global market opportunity
Consumer legacy, cultural institutions and enterprise archives converge on one missing layer: permanence.
We fund the vault, security and the pilots first. Everything else is a differentiation trajectory, not a distraction.
We are not betting the MVP on experimental technology. DNA-on-silicon is a mastered capability that will power our long-term preservation layer and premium programmes.
