Remember Me: Where are they now?

This is a multiple part interview conducted by the Target Accelerators team. Participating companies have been asked to share details about themselves and their brand after completing a Target Accelerators program.

“Remember Me‘s Mission is to celebrate uniqueness by discovering new things about each other and sharing it with the world” as described by their co-founder Corina. Our team took a few moments and a quick email exchange to catch up with Target Forward Founders Cohort 1 Alumnus to talk about the Remember Me story and what’s next for their card game.

Target Accelerators: What inspired you to you start your brand?
Corina: Benito and I started Remember Me when we both lacked connections and were tired of the “surface-level” conversations. We wanted to know the random quirks about people that often get overlooked, what made them laugh, and get to know who people are. We thought games bring people together, so why not make a game? After brainstorming, testing on friends, family, and strangers, and tweaking our prototype a lot! We finally landed on the final version of Remember Me.

Target Accelerators: What is something you’ve learned from your program that you still use til this day?
Corina: We learned so much every day in this fantastic program. We learned to believe in ourselves and that we are in the right place to be the founders of our business. It sounds cliche, but this is the foundation of what propels us forward. I remember the first day we were on a call with the other founders and leaders from the Target Accelerators program. It was daunting, and imposter syndrome kicked in, “I don’t think our business is ready enough to be here,” we thought. Shortly after Alana (our Program Manager) said, “I want you to know that each of you is here for a reason because we saw something special in your business, and you belong here.” These words were the encouragement we needed then, and we kept repeating them to ourselves throughout the program and afterward, too.
