About Tinybeans

Stephen is a bit competitive. His friend Dave and his wife kept a blog, beautifully capturing the lives of their two daughters. Stephen didn’t, so when his third son was on his way, he decided to trump Dave by creating an app instead. As you do.

This app allowed Stephen to take a photo a day of his children, pop it into a calendar and he could share it with the grandparents. They loved seeing their grandchildren’s daily lives and he thought other families would love it too.

Stephen also wanted to find a way to help parents track their children’s development and find help easily should they need it, like his family have done in the past. This is the Tinybeans Dream.

Sarah-Jane (we call her S-J, you can too) used to be organised but then she had kids. She was going to make photo journals for each of her kids’ birthdays. But she took too many pictures and then she got confused.

S-J and Stephen went for coffee and he told her all about Tinybeans. She joined Tinybeans straight away and is now in charge of marketing, but really she just wanted Stephen to sort her photos out.

S-J’s family live far away and were always complaining she didn’t put enough photos on Facebook. Even though lots of S-J’s Facebook friends live far away too, she suspects that a few of them could have done with a lot less baby photos. Tinybeans keeps everyone happy!

Eddie is passionate about Tinybeans meeting the needs of parents at all stages of a child’s life. He is using his extensive experience in starting and growing technology companies to help Tinybeans realise its vision. He spends his days making sure Tinybeans finds the best ways to help families connect with the best resources to encourage their children’s development.

Eddie’s inspiration is his 4 boys. He needs to find a way to keep track of them all before he loses control completely and the more help he can get the better: friends, family, childcarers, teachers… Eddie would like to see them all contributing to his children’s Tinybeans Journal.
