As you may or may not know, Narrative originally started as a Kickstarter project back in October 2012 as Memoto. The project was fully funded, reaching the target goal of $50,000 within under 5 hours. With the original goal completed, Memoto set a stretch goal of $150,000 which was reached in a single day. After several additional stretch goals, the Memoto lifelogging camera was successfully funded by 2,971 backers that pledged over $550,000 to make the wearable camera a reality.
