From a Bruges side project to a European event-tech platform.
A short, honest version of how we got here. We update this whenever a milestone is real, not because a roadmap slide says we should.
March 2024
Digitalstories BV founded
Willem Himpe incorporates Digitalstories BV in Bruges to build a better way to share event photos. The first product is a collaborative storybook for small groups.
Q3 2024
Pivot to event photo delivery
Conversations with corporate event teams reveal the real pain: thousands of photos, no way to deliver them personally. The product narrows to selfie-search galleries for events.
Q4 2024
First branded conferences and corporate events
The first ten customers ship same-day galleries to attendees. Engagement on post-event content jumps from a few percent to a few dozen. The thesis holds.
Q1 2025
events.relivo.app launches self-serve
Event teams stop emailing us to upload photos. The self-serve event app goes live. Setup time per event drops from hours to minutes.
Q2 2025
Universities and trade-show partnerships
Relivo becomes the default for graduations, university races and a handful of European trade shows. High-volume photo discovery becomes a core capability.
Q4 2025
First profitable quarter
Relivo crosses operational profitability without external capital. The team grows to a senior six and stays small on purpose.
