Investing in Storygram
A small round, for a big problem.
Reading for pleasure is one of the strongest predictors of how a child gets on, and fewer people of any age do it every year. Storygram makes the tools that get whole families reading. We've started with children, where the habit is made: a reading adventure, a gift list for the books they'd love, and a letter for the grown-ups. Early years and adult reading follow.
Where we are
- Storygram Quest is live and in open pilot at quest.storygram.io: real families, real books, a Premium tier already in place.
- Buy Me Books, a children's book gift list powered by the same catalogue and affiliate partnerships, launches for Christmas.
- Footnotes, our newsletter for parents, is the audience we build on.
- Storygram Ltd is a UK company (number 16176524), founded in January 2025, with an existing backer and in-house development.
The round
We're raising a modest seed round from friends, family and people who care about reading, and we intend it to qualify for the Seed Enterprise Investment Scheme (SEIS), which offers UK taxpayers income-tax relief on qualifying investments. We're applying to HMRC for advance assurance and preparing the paperwork through SeedLegals.
This page is an invitation to a conversation, not an offer. We'll share the plan, the numbers and the terms directly with people who ask, once they're ready.

Email Graham, the founder, at graham@storygram.org and say a little about yourself. He'll send the deck and answer questions, and nobody is asked for anything until HMRC has confirmed the scheme applies.
