FamilyNest
Our Story

We're like you. We have a family, kids and grandkids.
Like many families, we're more spread out and busier than ever. Grandparents live across the country, siblings want to stay close despite busy schedules and time zones, and extended families want a way to share life's moments.
Sure, you can do what most people do. Post on Facebook or other social media, only to have your happy post lost in a pool of political commentary and ads and your information for sale.
Luckily for our family, we have a hero, who's a software engineer. Dad! A man that doesn't understand the word "can't". So he solved our problem. He built us a social media app to help our family, and yours, stay connected in a way that feels safe, authentic and joyful again.
So, why should you trust him, and us, to create a social media app for your family? Because we have a track record... and it's a good one.
Anthony and I are the founders of Bonzi, a company that built web-based software and mobile apps for families and non-profit groups. Anthony was our Chief Technology Officer (CTO) responsible for building our enterprise-class products that served over 5 million people. In fact, if your kids played sports, there's a good chance you used our software.
And you know what? We never sold our customer data. Our success came from making a product our customers valued and wanted. A novel idea anymore, but that made us different and a top competitor in our market. Those same values and principles guide us today.
It's our hope your family will join ours in growing and improving FamilyNest making it safe and a fun place for all families.
Anthony and Amy Pate
