Investor & Strategy Deck · 2026
A living legacy that grows for six generations.
Premium ceremonial tree planting service for life's defining moments — birth, union, milestone, memory. With a sealed time capsule at every root.
The opportunity we saw
The market for "meaningful gifts" today offers two extremes.
Mass-market eco-charities sell certificates from $10–$50. A tree is planted somewhere, you get a PDF. No experience, no place to return to, no story.
Luxury memorial firms (urns, monuments, columbaria) charge €5–50k — but anchor everything to death. Cold, formal, finite.
Nothing in the market today serves premium clients who want to celebrate a living moment with a tangible legacy that will outlive them.
The idea
Each ceremony plants a personal tree in a protected woodland. Beneath its roots, a sealed time capsule holds the family's letters, photographs, a voice recording, an heirloom. A notarised certificate fixes its GPS coordinates. Twenty years later — the family returns to open it.
Hand-selected sapling. Oak, pine, linden, birch. 5+ years of expert care. IoT vitality sensor (Heritage tier+).
Hermetically sealed metal vault buried at root depth. Professional document conservation. 20-year unlock contract.
1.5–3h private ritual at the reserve. Botanist, photographer, optional cinematographer. Notarised on-site.
Every product on the market sells a transaction. We sell a 20-year emotional contract — a date the family is anchored to, a place they will return to.

Competitive landscape
| Player | Premium Ceremony | Time Capsule | IoT + Digital Twin | Multi-gen Unlock | Patent | Price |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| The Living Urn (US) | No | No | Partial (app) | No | Yes — US 10,376,435 | $129–$849 |
| Bios Urn (ES) | No | No | Bios Incube (sensor) | No | Yes — utility patents | €145–€675 |
| The Gifted Tree (US) | No (mail card) | No | No | No | No | $30–$300 |
| Trees for a Change | No | No | Photos only | No | No | $25–$200 |
| Veritree (CA) | No (B2B) | No | Blockchain + drone | No | Pending | B2B |
| Treedom (IT) | No | No | Photos + GPS | No | €20–€80 | |
| Coorest NFTrees | No | No | NFT only | No | $15–$60 | |
| Подари-Дерево (RU) | No | No | Photo + GPS | No | 180–700 ₽ | |
| Continuation Park | Yes (full ritual) | Yes (sealed vault) | Yes (sensor + dash) | Yes (10–25 yrs) | Filing in 2026 | €990–€2 490 |
Conclusion: existing players occupy either "cheap eco-gift" or "cremation memorial". The four-pillar combination — premium ceremony + capsule + IoT + multi-generational unlock — is empty.
How we win
Pivot from memorial (90% of competitors) to celebration. Birth and wedding clients are larger, repeat buyers, less price-sensitive.
The unlock date creates a forced re-engagement after two decades. Highest LTV in the space — second ceremony, third tree, multi-generational customers.
Cinematic ritual, private concierge, on-site pavilion, notary. Nothing in the space is positioned as luxury hospitality.
Three filings planned: capsule-root construction (utility model), tree-vitality IoT system (invention), and the methodology of multi-decade ceremonial unlock.
Real tree + real capsule + real coordinates + private dashboard + optional NFT certificate. Veritree does B2B, no one does it for HNW B2C.
Each pillar alone exists. Their combination as a single luxury experience is uncontested globally.
Product formats
Patent strategy — Part 1 / 3
Existing IP in the memorial-tree space concentrates on biodegradable urn constructions for cremated remains. None covers life-event ceremonies, time capsules, or multi-decade contracts.
| Patent / IP | Holder | Coverage | Blocks us? |
|---|---|---|---|
| US 10,376,435 B2 (2019) | Biolife LLC (The Living Urn) |
Biodegradable urn-and-tree planting system using cremated remains as nutrient base. | No — we use no remains; capsule is separate from sapling roots. |
| EP 3 010 854 B1 | Estudimoline / Bios Urn | Biodegradable funerary urn with seed germination chamber. | No — non-funerary use, no germination chamber. |
| WO 2017/164774 | Capsula Mundi (IT) | Egg-shaped pod for body burial as soil for tree. | No — not a body-burial pod. |
| Veritree platform | Veritree Inc (CA) | Blockchain-based reforestation verification (B2B carbon). | No — different stack and customer. |
| "Memorial tree" trademarks | Several | Trademarked phrases in US/EU classes 35 & 41. | Manageable — our brand "Continuation Park" is clear. |
Conclusion: the field is patentable. No prior art covers the integrated combination of (capsule + IoT + ceremony + multi-decade unlock). Filing window is open.
Patent strategy — Part 2 / 3
FILING #1 · UTILITY MODEL
What: Hermetic chamber positioned at root collar with thermal-passive design, gas-exchange membrane, archival paper preservation.
Where: RU (Rospatent), EAEU, EU (EPO).
Why this first: fastest path (6–12 months in RU), lowest cost (~₽40k state fee), defends the most visible asset.
Cost: €4–8k · TTL: 10 years renewable
FILING #2 · INVENTION
What: Soil sensor + radio module + cloud relay specifically calibrated for individual specimen monitoring with multi-decade battery design and family-dashboard alerts.
Where: PCT international filing → EU + US national phase.
Why: highest defensibility against tech entrants (incl. Veritree pivots).
Cost: €18–35k · TTL: 20 years
FILING #3 · METHOD + TRADEMARK
What: Trademarks (Continuation Park / Парк продолжения) classes 35, 41, 44; method patent on the capsule-unlock notarised contract.
Where: Madrid System (international trademark), national patents EU/RU/UAE.
Why: brand is the long-term moat; method covers the business mechanic.
Cost: €6–12k · TTL: 10 years renewable
Total filing program: €28–55k over 18 months. Recommended sequence: TM → Utility → Invention.
Patent strategy — Part 3 / 3
Patent attorney audit of existing claims (Espacenet, USPTO, FIPS). Brand availability check across 8 jurisdictions.
File trademarks via Madrid (EU + RU + UAE + US). File utility model on capsule construction in RU/EAEU.
File PCT application for IoT system. Secret formula on document-conservation chemistry kept as trade secret (no filing).
Enter US/EU national phase. Method patent on ceremonial-unlock contract. Defensive publications on adjacent claims.
Trust architecture
The single hardest question a customer asks: "How do I know you'll still be here in twenty years?" Our answer is four independent layers of structural guarantees — none of which rely on the operating company surviving.
LAYER 01
Land and obligations held by a Stiftung. Outlives the company. Private bankers recognise the structure.
LAYER 02
GPS + unlock instructions with an independent notary. Retrievable by the family with a single notarised request.
LAYER 03
Specialist policy underwrites tree mortality and capsule loss. If anything fails, the insurer pays — not us.
LAYER 04
Three reserves by 2027. Capsules transfer between sisters — with full ceremony — at no cost if any single site closes.
Trust is not a marketing statement — it is a structural outcome. Four layers, zero exposure to a single point of failure. Every HNW customer understands this instantly.
Plus: 30-day full refund · 97% survival guarantee · free re-ceremony on loss · transferability to another family at any time.
Pricing psychology
Every euro mapped. "Where does the money go" becomes a trust lever, not a question.
| Sapling + botanist planting | €280 |
| Sealed capsule + conservation | €310 |
| Notary + foundation registry | €170 |
| IoT sensor + cloud 5y | €240 |
| Ceremony team | €280 |
| Active care 5y | €120 |
| 100 reforestation trees | €90 |
| Heritage total | €1 490 |
€1 490 one-time
→ €124 / month for a year
→ €15 / year over 100 years
→ €1.50 per year per descendant (10 heirs)
Founders Grove at €25k makes €1 490 feel like the reasonable middle. Classic decoy effect (Ariely). Sells 1–5 units/yr as pure margin.
Risk matrix
A dead tree breaks the entire emotional contract.
Mitigation: 2-year botanist warranty, free re-ceremony, 97% survival rate validated.
Will the company exist when the capsule opens?
Mitigation: Foundation/trust structure + insurance + capsule independent retrievability via notary (GPS coordinates fixed).
Bios Urn or Living Urn pivots upmarket.
Mitigation: 18-month patent program. Brand and reserve location are non-replicable. First-mover advantage in HNW segment.
Country regulations change for protected woodlands.
Mitigation: Multi-jurisdiction expansion (3 countries by Y3). Long-term lease + nature-conservation NGO partnership.
12-month roadmap
Brand identity. Reserve site agreement. Legal entity. Patent FTO. Hire founding botanist + concierge lead.
Pilot 10 ceremonies (friends-and-family + select press). Capsule prototype manufactured. IoT sensor v1.
Site live in EN+RU. PR campaign (Robb Report, Forbes Life, RBC Style). First 30 paying ceremonies.
Wealth-manager partnerships (3 private banks). Corporate B2B pilot. Target 100 ceremonies cumulative.
