Our Team

Nam Mokwunye was challenged on how best to commercialize his 15 year-long design patents and make his 2 year-old son proud. He knew that, with co-founding industry veterans, he could strengthen the education-media space--celebrate the hearts and minds of students by empowering them to video their school life stories.

The Video Yearbook Story

Overview

Nam Mokwunye was on a mission trying to figure out a way to commercialize his video platform design patents and make his 2 year-old son proud. 

With over 23 years in the high school keepsake industry, Tara watched an entire industry struggle to create a new, innovative product that would celebrate the voice of today’s students and capture their memories in a relevant, dynamic fashion.

So, when Nam and Tara met on a Lyft ride, they realized they could lock arms to make a difference for students and revive the keepsake industry. By licensing Nam's video platform and leveraging Tara’s experience and network, they made Video Yearbook a reality.

Within 3 months they had developed a 100+ school pipeline, signed 3 schools and 5000+ students, and contracted $100,000 in sales.

Immediate Benefit for Students & Schools

VYb is designed to guarantee access to 100% of students (regardless of socio-economic status, race, or gender), reduce the cost of the yearbook experience from $50 to sub-$5, and ensure students (and their schools) get paid for the ads that play on their videos. 

Beyond savings and revenue sharing, VYb enables schools to elevate their brands by empowering students’ voices, escalating co-constructive learning and enriching curriculum and culture.
