Glen Meakem

Realizing that there was no way for people to permanently store and share their family photos, videos, and other media in the cloud, Glen launched Forever in 2013. The company has grown rapidly ever since. Glen is an experienced entrepreneur and leader who has founded and built a number of companies, including the widely chronicled and successful B2B ecommerce company FreeMarkets. Glen founded FreeMarkets in 1995, and took it public in a record setting IPO in 1999. At its peak, FreeMarkets had a publicly traded market cap of $13 billion. Glen believes that permanent memory keeping is an unmet and critically important need for tens of millions of people around the world. He is committed to building Forever into a large and successful company, one that is focused on preserving and protecting family stories for generations.
