At Story, we aim to revolutionize how creativity is shared and managed on the internet. The internet has enabled innovative ways of creating and distributing creative works, from remix culture to AI-generated content. However, current intellectual property (IP) systems are outdated, limiting the potential for openness and collaboration. We are building the IP infrastructure that the internet needs — one optimized for creativity, openness, and growth.
Our mission is to unleash the full creative potential of the internet by building a native IP infrastructure layer. Through our open IP repository, creators of prose, images, audio, and more can track the evolution of their works and enable collaborative contributions in a seamless, transparent way. Beyond tracking IP, our platform allows for frictionless composability, empowering creators to contribute to and capture value from shared IP.
